rephrase to be less ambiguous and provide a couple more details

This is controlled by the two parameters "one" and "page", respectively,
|
||||
that can be set via the :doc:`neigh_modify command <neigh_modify>`. The
|
||||
parameter "one" is the estimate for the number of entries in a single
|
||||
neighbor list. The parameter "page" is the size of the page. The
|
||||
default settings are suitable for most systems. They need to be changed
|

when simulating a system with a very high density or when setting a very
|
||||
long cutoff (e.g. :math:`\gtrapprox 15 \AA` with :doc:`units real
|
||||
<units>`). The value of "page" must be at least 10x the value of "one",
|
||||
but 50x or 100x are recommended to avoid wasting memory. The neighbor
|

list storage is typically the largest amount of RAM required by a
|

LAMMPS calculation.
|
||||
parameter "one" is the estimate for the maximum number of entries in a
|
||||
list of neighbors for a single atom. The parameter "page" is the size
|
||||
of the page. Before determining the neighbors for the next atom, the
|
||||
neighbor list code checks, if there are "one" entries left in the
|
||||
current page; if not, a new page is allocated. The error is triggered
|
||||
when there is not enough space left in the page when adding neighbors.
|

|

The default settings are suitable for most systems. They need to be
|
||||
changed, for instance, when simulating a system with a very high density
|
||||
or when setting a very long cutoff (e.g. :math:`\gtrapprox 15 \AA` with
|
||||
:doc:`units real <units>`). The value of "page" **must** be at least
|
||||
10x the value of "one", but 50x to 100x are recommended to avoid wasting
|
||||
memory. The neighbor list storage is typically the largest amount of
|
||||
RAM required by a LAMMPS calculation.

Even though the LAMMPS error message recommends to increase the "one"
|

parameter, this may not be the correct solution. The neighbor list
