Well sure, but then the assumption of an "isotropic distribution of
particles beyond the cutoff" breaks down as membrane systems are
decidedly NOT isotropic.
For membrane simulations (or surface simulations or simulations with any
anisotropic particle distribution) I defer to the relevant literature.
All the best,
