The FAQ page [ 
http://susi.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/reg_user/faq/supercells.html ] says 
you can also use special labels.

Probably, if you set all equivalent atoms as nonequivalent atoms in 
StructGen using the special labels it will keep the 2x2x2 supercell that 
you see in XCrySDen. However, more nonequivalent atoms should increase 
computation time.  So you may want to use less special labels if 
possible to reduce the cells as much as possible during initialization 
(with the help of x nn, x sgroup, and x symmetry).
