Short answer: you would never want to change multi_body_factor.

It was introduced while systematically searching for the best
parameterization of the automatic multiple-zones protocol for rigid
body refinement. I'll go through and change the expert_level for this
and similar parameters, so you won't normally see them in the GUI.
