Hi,
  VMD won't let you load structures with varying atom counts into the
same molecule, but you could still view such a simulation by loading the
100ps segments into separate molecules, and having VMD animate the sequence
of 100ps trajectories using a script. Axel Kohlmeyer has an example
script for this type of thing in his VMD/CPMD tutorial that you can look at:
  http://www.theochem.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/~axel.kohlmeyer/cpmd-vmd/index.html
See section 9.5 in the tutorial.

Cheers,
  John Stone
