Questions: (1) what force field parameters are you using for the Fe4S4
clusters? [We have some FS4 parameter files that I should probably try to
the contributed parameters database, but I haven't had the time to do it.]
There are also CHARMM parameters that could be adapted:

(2) The reason I ask question (1) is that force field parameters generally
should obviate the need for distance restraints: Fe4S4 clusters are pretty
rigid objects, and don't move around much.

You would need a separate set of parameters for each of the four clusters.
Whether you need distance restraints for every bond is not clear: I've never
used such restraints myself.
