Looking at the run30 .stats file from the run you provide, the all
metrics appear to fit better than your run7 calculations. The only
problem I see is that the average structure doesn't converge so well
due to the large spread in input structures. So the new result seems
to be much better: you have a larger spread of structures that appear
to fit the data better. The spread might be narrowed by including
additional data or empirical terms - HBDB would be useful - see
eginput/gb1_rdc/anneal.py. Also, you may wish to refine using the
implicit EEFx solvent model - see eginput/eefx/refine.py.  I have not
done exhaustive analysis of the run7 structures- you might analyze
those structures, along with the run30 structures to definitively see
how the fits compare yourself.
