I found there are a few molecules that have undergone a crazy transformation
from 2D to 3D with RDKit in my batch conversion due to having a long carbon
chain.
Here is one example molecules on eMolecules.com:

I've attached the input (2D) and output (3D) SDFs.

Here are other examples that result in the same "messy" 3D structures:

Has anyone seen this type of problem before?  Is there a way to fix the
"messy" conversion?  Or a way to detect when this long carbon chain is
present and tell RDKit to not convert/output these molecules?
