Assuming I understand thew way the game code handles Pen and warhead size I'm thinking reducing Pen will "only" effect the probability of a hit damaging/destroying something. This would have no effect on the effect radius.
Now adjusting the warhead size does effect the radius. Now I also know adjusting the warhead size also various other effects as well so more experimenting will be needed to get the "proper" effects.

The other thing is ... it may be that setting a weapon to WC=14 (Cluster Bomb, MLRS) automatically means the effect radius is "X" and the warhead size has no effect on the radius.

Again, experimentation is called for.
