A parabolic restraint has r2=r3. If you want a parabolic restraint with a
minimum energy at 12 Ang, set r2=r3=12. It doesn't matter what the "current
length" of the distance is.

Note: this doesn't mean that using parabolic restraints is the best way to
extend distances -- that depends a lot on the details of the system. But it
does illustrate what to do if you decide you want to use parabolic restraints
to do this.
