Not sure what the best option here is. Unfortunately I don't think
leap can do exactly what you describe. I think using extreme states is
a great way to start. What I would do is to solvate one of these
extreme states (or maybe generate what amounts to a fully extended
state) with an adequate buffer and count how much solvent is added.
Then I would use that number as a target with something like this
script: https://github.com/drroe/Solvate.sh. It's not super efficient
but it will get the job done. Something like packmol may be better
suited to this but I don't have a lot of experience with that program.

You can try using the 'minimage' command in cpptraj, which will report
the minimum non-self imaged distance between atoms.
