No; that's not how elemental weapons work.

If Weapon has no innate element: Depends on your modding (each element can only be used in one combination)

If Weapon has a single innate element: Any left-over element will be combined with the innate element.

If Weapon has a compound innate element: Works exactly as if the weapon had no element. The compound (in this case, Radiation) will ALWAYS stay, and you can mod the 4 elements as you see fit, so you can have 3 combinations (but one of them has to be Radiation). Also, any elements you use that match with the innate compound element (Fire and Electricity), will also buff the innate (so using Corrosive+Blast will also buff Radiation, for example)

TL;DR: No. The Radiation is 100% separate from what you mod in (except bonus damage if you mod in Fire and/or Electric), so you can only have one custom built Toxic compound.
