As far as I know the trr file is lost (please correct me if I am wrong). 
However, you can also extend the run from the final snapshot of the 
simulation, taken from confout.gro or from the xtc. Since the system is 
highly chaotic the little difference to the "exact" extension using the 
trr and the edr is anyway lost within picoseconds. To get the times 
right in the extended xtc, trr and edr just change t_init in the mdp file.

Cheers, Jochen
