So, to clarify, you're not actually doing the protein-lipid tutorial, which is 
what you said before.  If you're following the protocol, but for a different 
system, please say so.  I am not going to hazard guesses about what your system 
may or may not do; I can only speak about my own experiences with known systems.

Why would you increase the initial box size?  That makes no sense at all.  Are 
the lipids in the initial configuration whole, or split across periodic 
boundaries?  Depending on the configurations of lipid tails, and whether or not 
the lipids are whole or "broken," your box size may vary.

I see no evidence of a problem.  If you've got an acceptable APL, proceed.
