There may be a simpler way. If you just have a single bond between the two
residues you can add it to the specbond database. pdb2gmx will then look
for Ser-Gly combinations in bonding distance. So what is the chemical
nature of the link?

In general the format of the rtp files is quite straightforward, hdb is a
bit more difficult.
