If you output an mmCIF file directly from refmac this avoids the TER record problem.

just add this

"pdbout format mmcif"

to your refmac command and it will output an mmCIF which can be used directly for deposition to the PDB

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

Something (Refmac? Coot?? mystery?) was labelling all atoms in MSE
residues as HETATM and that was a BAD THING..
I don't dispute this, but that's what the pdb spec from the PDB requires 
(HETATM for all non-standard residues).
