no, it makes no sense at all. The first output is only polydata used to
generate a molecular representation (via glyphs)
the second port holds a 3D voume mesh (vtkImageData) which is the volume
of density in which the molecule is placed.

I would not dedicate any effort to this specific reader. My experience
shows that support in PV was broken for many months and nobody
complained. Further, the reader itself needs a new implementation to be
conform to other molecular visualization packages (IMHO)
Working however on the more general purpose of separating multiple ports
is a much more useful.
