This is really a question for the ORCA forum, but In my experience the MPI parallel version of ORCA with OpenMPI works well. Make sure to test the speedup that you get. It may be better to run two or more jobs at the same time than a single job with 16 MPI tasks.

All the best,
Andy

Make sure to cut only across single bonds and not across polar bonds, i.e. C-C single bonds typically are appropriate. See also the Amber manual.
