There is no general answer to this question: it depends a lot on the nature of
the solute and the size of the simulation box.

The cpptraj program can "unwrap" trajectories that have been wrapped. Another
useful strategy is to set ntxo=2 (using the netcdf restart format), which does
not have the problem of overflowing a fixed field length.
