Personally I orientate a molecule so that it is aligned along the z-axis of 
the box, so it has a small x-y profile.  Adjust the box size to something 
reasonable around the molecule, create the rough monolayer, then adjust the 
x-y dimensions to get roughly the correct area by molecule.  You can end up 
with some distorted molecules, but as soon as you do the em step they will 
straighten out.  Or even run a quick one after you have assembled it.
