That wouldn't help you, because the resulting distance would be
non-physical, so you'd have crazy forces, etc.

In such cases, you should explore using distance restraints to pull the
relevant atoms close enough that the distance heuristic in pdb2gmx will
work for generating a topology with the disulfide bond next time.
