If I understand you correctly, your unit cell has already 20 atoms, and 
you want to create a 1x1x50 supercell ?

This gives 1000 atoms !! ??

Without symmetry, this is beyond the limit what wien2k presently accepts 
(the atomic numbering has only 3 digits, so allows at most 999 atoms) 
and also beyond your computer resources (just 32 cores ?).
