It should pertain to the number of bonds you want that atom to form, aside from 
those in the .rtp entry.  See the line for HIS NE2, which forms one bond to FE, 
but certainly forms other bonds to atoms in the HIS residue.

I don't understand your question.  If you define a bond at, i.e. 0.1 nm, pdb2gmx 
will build a bond if the distance between the two atoms is 0.9 - 1.1 nm.  An 
unreasonable bond will only be formed if you provide an unreasonable search 
distance.

This isn't always relevant.  Note that most of the entries in specbond.dat 
remain unchanged.  The only instances of the residue name changing are related 
to force field-specific disulfide conventions (i.e., CYS vs. CYS2).
