This TER business is a common lament generally surfacing upon deposition. 
PDB demands TER only after a peptide chain, but refmac inserts
them liberally after HETATM chains and in between them if the HET 
monomers are not consecutively numbered.

Example:
.
HETATM 4626  C8  NAG A 652      -7.708  54.612  47.885  1.00 66.94           C
HETATM 4627  O7  NAG A 652      -6.870  54.052  45.727  1.00 74.93           O
TER    4628      NAG A 652
HETATM 4629 CL   CL  A 801      21.660  57.665  44.396  1.00 72.44          CL
HETATM 4630 CL   CL  A 802       9.893  42.272  48.748  1.00 44.08          CL
TER    4631      CL  A 802
ATOM   4632  N   PHE B  11      24.376 -12.877  29.777  1.00 80.09           N
ATOM   4633  CA  PHE B  11      24.701 -14.037  28.894  1.00 80.63           C
.
I have a crude hack removes aberrant TERs but it is
in F90 and no guarantees whatsoever case someone wants it.

Best, BR

I don't dispute this, but that's what the pdb spec from the PDB requires (HETATM for all non-standard residues).
