[Wien] Large cell instgen_lapw : word too long

Obviously something is very wrong, so you should not move forward until you
have worked out what and obtained a reasonable starting density.

Probably something is wrong with how you setup the cell (case.struct), and
going for 0.5% doping is probably too bold. (Unless you have considerable
computer resources available it will take forever or not run.)

I suggest starting with something more modest, for instance a 2x2x2 cell so
only 1/8 of sites is doped. Use the symmetry that Wien2k finds, don't stay
with P1. You will have to learn how to handle the Ln since the 4f electrons
are nasty. Start small first, later decide if you really need to go large.
