My opinion is also yes, same reason. So if you had a squadron of wave
serpents, such that 4 or more were firing, you would place the automatic
blast marker for the number of SHWs, then roll the 4+ to place another
because of the disrupt ability.

In their terminology, I think they would have written "each hit". IMHO, it
is again simply an extra blast marker for each time you shoot the
mega-cannon. If it causes a hit to anything under the barrage template,
you end up placing two blast markers total (per the 1-3 SHW blast marker
table).
