Hi,
  What file format did you load your structure from?
The message you're getting from VMD isn't about the number of atoms,
it's about the number of unique atom nams, types, residue names,
segment names, chains, or alternate location identifiers. Normally
you would never encounter this error message unless you did something
such as giving every atom in your system a unique name (which will
also cause other problems since VMD probably won't recognize the atom names)

We regularly work with multi-million atom structures with VMD, so if
you specify your structure in a reasonable way there shouldn't be
any problem.

Cheers,
  John Stone
