The rules clearly say that the cap is "after all modifiers", so no.

Modeling a point-blank rocket barrage as opposed to a ranged volley launch as a 'wild shot' would probably not be a good way to do things. The rules given for rockets probably make sense for using them normally, but don't make sense if you are using rocket-propelled explosives at thrown weapon (or melee weapon!) ranges.
