The Me-262's R4M racks could actually be set to fire groups of six and groups of twelve rockets (as well as twenty-four).
I read this in a book a long time ago (don't remember the book unfortunately), and it might have only applied to the first few series (Of course, if this is the case, than it simply means that the definitive version would have fired all rockets and the version that was actually used could fire various sized salvoes).
It might be possible to have a selector that would allow dropping all bombs in one run. While it is possible to decrease salvo size or drop one bomb at a time, it requires adding extra fake hardpoints to trick the engine (and thus editing each stock aircraft separately). Technically, this would constitute a weapon edit.
P.S.
I believe that groups of eight rockets per wing are technically the most widespread in Il-2.
