Depending on how different A and B are, you may be able to complete this task 
with a text editor.

If they are very different, I don't know if there is an easy solution apart from 
rebuilding the system.  You could, for example, have a system with 13 A and 
insert 15 B using genbox -cp a.gro -ci b.gro -nmol 15
