CP2K parameters change in input file when simulating a larger box

Opinions may vary, but I'd keep the cutoff the same - it essentially 
defines a functional, and only makes sense to compare like with like.

I can't think of anything else that needs to be changed as you alter the 
box size (in  DFT calculation).
