Are you thinking of a periodic or non-periodic calculation?
For periodic calculations, you can set eedmeth=4: this will compute
pairwise electrostatics out to cut, and nothing beyond that. There will
be no reciprocal calculation done. (See the manual for details.)
However, the maximum value for cut+skinnb is still half the box length.
There is no code in Amber that knows how to compute atom pairs beyond
the minimum-image convention.

Can you say exactly where this suggestion is? Sounds nonsensical to me,
unless you are dealing with a non-periodic simulation. But I could be
missing something about why this (seemingly odd) suggestion was made.
....dac
p.s.: just so it is clear to everyone: using eedmeth=4 is *not*
recommended for any type of routine use, and will generally give very
bad results if you just turn that option on.
