The last value of :EFG001, :EFG002, etc. in case.scf is the one from the
last iteration, thus this is this value that you have to consider.
The EFG is a quantity assigned to a particular nucleus and there is
no total EFG defined for the unit cell. The EFG can be negative or
positive. Maybe you should read more literature on EFG, e.g.,
