hello Hardikar,
The dimension of QM box depends on your system, or the quantity where you
are interested.
You can refer the paper "An Efficient Real Space Multigrid QM/MM
Electrostatic Coupling" written by Teodoro Laino for details.
The realization of QMMM in CP2K is based on this paper.
Best wishes !
