In this case the program takes the solute and calculates the solvation 
surface. From this calculates the maximum size of this surface, add 
twice the value "Distance_between_the_solute_and_the_box" (distance in 
the left side and distance in the right side), and the total value is, 
in the case of cubic box, the size of each direction of the box (X=Y=Z).

Some careful  reading of the Manual will help.
