From The PDB File Format - Contents Guide The MODEL record specifies the model serial number when multiple structures are presented in a single coordinate entry, as is often the case with structures determined by NMR.
IMHO you should set different "chainID" identifiers on the 22nd column of the PDB file for each monomer to identify different monomers within the same complex. MODEL is more suitable to identify different 'states' of a trajectory or a pool of NMR structures.
