I just compiled txt2pdbdoc under Cygwin (no changes needed). And looking into the source its conversion just chops the input file in blocks of 4096 bytes (max 4096 bytes per record). Hence your result of 2 records. In the meantime I saw you got a modified par version working, so depending on how you want to organize your final pdb (optimized for searching on verses ?) this custom par version could be OK. To obtain the same result with txt2pdbdoc also some source code changes are needed.
