the gofr plugin cannot handle this 'as is' since it has
no knowledge of what is a molecule and not. it only sees atoms.
adding an option to exclude the same (residue/chain/segment)
would require some programming effort (feel free to contribute).
moreover it would require a careful rethinking of the normalization.

however, have you checked whether the peaks for the intramolecular
and intermolecular peaks do overlap? if not, you can just go ahead and
then simply disregard the intramolecular peaks...

cheers,
