I alwasy had a more literal interpetation of the target list for the USA proper. I do remember that only attacks of a certain size where listed but ran on the assumption that tonnages less than 250k were reserved for battlefields. Meaning most of them were smaller tacticals.
The plant in San Jose most certainly could be hit by a MIRV from the Benecia attacks but in my mind and the material I created it was just the refineries that were hit.
I had mulled around the idea of a Soviet submarine attackign the plant with a conventional cruise missiles. Hit the plant at lunch time or a shift change and you'd kill a lot of employees and do some good damage. Although in none of the source material did I ever follow up with the idea.
