OK. All GROMACS does is feed your filename extension to the VMD library and
let it choose how to read the file based on that. If that doesn't make
sense (and it seems it doesn't, because GROMACS wasn't told about the
number of atoms, and it needs to know), then the ball is back to you to
choose the filename extension in the way the plugin needs. I suggest you
check out http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/plugins/molfile/ and try some
alternatives.
