Possible, yes, but the smaller number of root processes and their general higher-risk status implies that a different policy entirely might be better than the same policy with different parameters. Besides which, I'm looking at https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/mm/oom_kill.c https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/mm/oom_kill.c and I genuinely can't see where root processes get privileged. I can see a reference to a `root bonus` in a comment, but other than that... maybe my kernel source reading skills are just too rusty.
