You would put the following:
A B C D K1 n1 d1
A B C D K2 n2 d2
And so on. The Charmm force field also has some sets of atoms with multiple
dihedral terms so it is not unreasonable.
In case you haven't found it yet, take a look at

Subject: namd-l: OPLS dihedrals
Hi,
I want to simulate long n-alkanes with NAMD using OPLS-UA FF (Jorgensen,
1984). But I miss something how to put dihedral Fourier parameters into NAMD
"style". For OPLS there are optimized 3 dihedral sinusoids, if I'm following
right (V = V0 + 1/2V1(1+cos(w)) + 1/2V2(1-cos(2w)) + 1/2V3(1+cos(3w))).
NAMD has for dihedral K (1 + cos( n*(w-d) )). Does it mean that I should put
tree sinusoids into NAMD parameter file like :
A B C D K n d K n d K n d
?
How to adopts Jorgensen dihedral potential to NAMD ? Or, in general, is
there any sense to include that dihedral potential into MD of long n-alkanes
?
