Only if these constants are free variables. I don't know if they are.
Actually for many constants we don't know why they have a specific value
(or even if they are constants at all). It may turn out that all of them
can be computed without reference to any measurements or that there are
a few free variables in this universe or perhaps that some depend on the
time since the big bang. Only if there are true free variables among the
constants you super universe could exist. Or actually if that is not the
case we might still find another way that that super universe might
exist. Sort of like finding a way that a god might still have an
influence this universe.
