No, there is no way, you should differ antiferromagnetically ordered atoms 
(i.e. consider them as different atoms with antiparallel magnetic moments).

It depends on your computers, you can use 8, 16, even 24 etc, but the best way 
is the use of 4 atoms tetragonal cell. Hopefully you can manage to set up this 
one.

Bests,
Eyvaz.
