Good question, and I'm not sure. I believe the radius damage of an Assault Missile is a separate effect from the initial attack damage, and thus if that were all of it, you could hit the front section and then radius-damage the back. But there's a potential problem in the wording of Assault Missiles itself: "each other ship". I believe the huge ship counts as one ship with multiple sections, so the assault missile couldn't target its other section since it's still the same ship it hit.

If that's the case, there's one bonus: I think the entire huge ship is used for checking radius for the assault missile blast.
