Yes.  If the protein protrudes "out" of the central image, then you will have an 
unstable system due to atomic overlap as well as violations of the minimum image 
convention.

If you need more space in the x-y plane, use genconf to replicate the membrane 
patch appropriately.  If x-y is sufficient and only z is the problem, use 
editconf to adjust the box size and (if desired) the location of the 
membrane-protein complex  and then solvate with genbox to fill the newly 
introduced void.
