I'm going from memory but generally MIRVs from one missile have the same size warhead. From a balance and maintenance standpoint that makes a lot of sense.

The 3MT could be a single, the 0.25 could be a fizzle, and MIRVs can cover an area or 800-1000km IIRC but i think a greater spread leads to less accuracy.

There could also have been a ton of duds mixed into the equation.
