Not only is it possible, it is expected.  What you've described is the fact
that your box is of insufficient size to accommodate your protein.  As a
consequence, PBC re-wraps the image of the protein such that it is within

infinite system.

When reporting problems, in general, such information is absolutely
necessary.  In this case, probably not.
