Gromacs is working as it should.  I don't believe there is any way to specify an 
"energy pair" as you want it.  To consider 200+ interactions, you have the side 
effect of getting a 200x200 matrix of interactions.

Does your ligand really interact with 200 amino acids, or does it potentially 
interact with 200 amino acids?  If you run the trajectory to see which amino 
acids are actually interacting, you can -rerun with substantially less energy 
groups defined.
