So I do this?:

perl inflategro.pl confout.gro 0.95 DPPC 0 system_shrink2.gro 5 area_shrink2.dat
perl inflategro.pl confout.gro 0.95 DPPC 0 system_shrink3.gro 5 area_shrink3.dat
etc
perl inflategro.pl confout.gro 0.95 DPPC 0 system_shrink26.gro 5 area_shrink26.dat

You don't need topol_dppc.top for anything except making DPPC whole.  Ignore 
those files after you've accomplished this.

It boils down to understanding what InflateGRO is suppose to do.  Once you start 
compressing/shrinking the lipids, you minimize after each step and compress some 
more.  So you minimize the output of shrink step 1, which is then input into 
InflateGRO to shrink again (shrink2), minimized, input into InflateGRO...
