No, it must sum to the net charge on the residue.  For example, aspartate at pH
7 has a net -1 charge, so it will not sum to zero.

I'm not quite clear on what you mean, but you can bridge two residues with
independent charge groups.  See, for example, the monosaccharides in the
Gromos96 .rtp files; hemiacetal linkages can span two different residues.

Typically, assign them by analogy to similar functional groups that already exist.
