You can make use of "graphics" in VMD.

See details here:
https://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/vmd-1.9.1/ug/node128.html

You can make use of "line" and "cylinder" to do this.

You can represent each residue either by it alpha-carbon or by a centroid
calculated from all the atoms of residues.

Then determine all occurrences of a particular residue (alpha-carbon or
centroids) and make pairs using a nested for loop
and for each pair using their xyz coordinates and the line/cylinder command
you should be able to connect them.

Write back if you struggle with the code and one can be put together.
