Using real round-up (ultra weathermax) at such rates is not only silly from an economical standpoint, but also defeats the effectiveness of roundup's ability to "kill the root". If much more than a quart of real roundup is used (22 oz/acre rec. rate) it becomes a burndown. Fake roundup can be used at rates near what you described so long as plants are not growing well. When plants are growing quickly they are easily killed and are easily burned down without killing the root if too much roundup is applied.
A much lower rate is needed in warm weather when plants have plenty of soil moisture. During a drought or cool weather the rate needs to be increased a bit to achieve a kill.
1.5 times the rate of glyphosphste will be plenty. It is more vital to apply the chemical with adequate water. 10 gallons per acre just won't cut the mustard unless weeds are small and sparse. 12 gallons is better than 10 but 15 is prime. I apply more like 18 gallons for late applications on tough weeds. I use 16 or more for any pre-emergent residuals. It makes all the difference! If its worth doing then its worth doing well!
