This seems fine. The point of the minimum image convention is that one should
not allow the same molecule to double-count interactions due to periodicity.
Two different molecules interacting is not a big deal, that's just what happens
across PBC.
If you have 4 proteins, each at the "corner" of the box (which is irrelevant due
to PBC), it's the same as having all four clustered in the "center" of the box
to begin with. Use a periodic representation in VMD (or whatever you like) to
see what I mean.

With PME, you would use:
rlist = 0.9
rcoulomb = 0.9
rvdw = 1.4
