Usually when you derive charges you do it for a _small_ molecule. This
small molecule is usually a single residue to build a force field
library for this small molecule (or a fragment built from this small
molecule).

That being said, you can use R.E.D. where the final output is the
Tripos mol2 file format, and where multiple residue naming
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/RED/ is fully handled.

See for instance the "W-59" R.E.DD.B. project with the corresponding
Tripos mol2 file available:
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDDB/up/W-59/tripos1.mol2
