No, except the increased size implemented by Vaclav to skip some contact 
detection periodically, but it doesn't interfeer with the current 
discussion.

Yes. You have to create potential interaction with enlarged boxes, and 
then turn them "isReal" in the functor based on increased virtual sizes.
If you don't increase boxes, distant virtuals will not be seen in the 
functor.
A better design would use the same variable for both factors, since I 
don't see any case when they should be different. Not done yet.
