You could look at papers from Martin Blackledge, who has written a lot about
interepreting RDC's and other NMR data for flexible systems. Ordinarily, one
would use enhanced sampling of various sorts (all will be extremely difficult
for a 600-residue polypeptide), and then use RDC's to assess the resulting
ensemble. Work by Vendruscolo, trying to create the ensembles, is also worth
consulting. But if you have data that is "not fully recorded", and a very
large system, the NMR data is probably not going to be very helpful.
