How are you generating the topology for your ligand?  It would seem to me that
you'd have to do it manually, for such an odd structure, or at least use
something like PRODRG to get the initial topology.  I doubt that renumbering
your molecule to make separate "residues" would solve anything.  Reading in the
manual about charge groups is definitely a good idea, as well as taking a look
at similar entries (like ATP) in relevant .rtp files.  This will give you some
idea about how charges are defined in similar molecules, and I know phosphates
can be especially tricky.
