[Matt Watkins]

1) not that I am aware of. You can specify molecules and wrap them together 
somehow in VMD I seem to remember.
2) you need to make sure your molecules are connected in the non-periodic 
direction. You can use
&TOPOLOGY
      CENTER_COORDINATES
to center the atoms in the cell. If the molecules are connected together 
then that should work once the cell is large enough.
