You can try translating in VESTA. After trial and error, I changed the 
lattice parameters ABC to 2:2:2 and it seems to touch the boundary. I did 
this by going Edit > Edit Data > Unit Cell > changing a,b, and c. Just make 
sure to remove the bonds, or VESTA may crash. You could also change ABC in 
cp2k input files. Is the goal to make this periodic?
