I have used GSAS with unit cells as large as 25 A on a side. I do not
believe there is any limitation in cell dimensions. I would guess
that this is a "user error" (the most common reason for an error from
POWPREF is an error from the previous cycle of GENLES). If you really
believe that you have encountered a bug, report it to Bob with enough
information so he can track it down.

Dear all,
I am trying to use GSAS to do Rietveld refinement of the pulsed
spallation neutron diffraction data. I just found that an error
should occur in powpref when I tried to use unit cells of the size
approximately 16.5 Angstrom or larger. Unfortunately, the unit cell
I need to use slightly larger than 17 Angstrom. Is this an
intrinsic limitation of GSAS? Is there a way to get around it?
Thank you very much.
Jae-Ho
