The explosion does count as a second damage instance - which means you do get an additional chance to procc status.

Put in 2 status mods (i prefer corrosive), speed trigger and try to get a riven with multishot or statuschance and you have an insane status shredding machine tearing through Grineer like hell with corrosive and slash proccs with AOE...

Speed trigger alone does give you an additional 120% fire rate, resulting in more than 12 shots per second, with some multishot-riven you get about 3 projectiles per shot, each with 2 damage instances AT LEAST (considering that the explosion might hit multiple enemies thats number might increase for large crowds...). With those 2 suggested status mods you have a 66% status chance per damage instance, or in other words about 12*3*2*0.66=48 proccs per second....

And appart from that: It does feel great to use a minigun with HE shells...
