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.
