Dear Sean,
For a synthetic peptide, you should only make restraints for the non-standard amino acids that are not already in the dictionary. You can do this graphically in jLigand which is part of CCP4. If you give the atoms names consistent with regular amino acids and define the compounds as ‘peptide’ you don’t even have to create LINK records to make things run in Refmac/COOT. Note that the PDB will break up a synthetic peptide into residues and rename things if you do treat the peptide a one compound. This may cause conflicts between the final structure model and the figures in the paper describing it. It’s better to avoid the issue by doing things properly in the first place.

I don't know its size limit. It recognizes the ligand YJD from 2YJD and produces restraints for it. In your case you may need to generate the mol2 file or SMILES string. I think openbabel could generate the mol2 file from the PDB file, I haven't tried.
