  I am not an explosives expert, but a "few hundred grams of explosives" could mean a lot of things as far as I understand? Besides, "a few hundred grams" could mean 35 hundred grams which is 3.5 kilo of explosives...

  I wonder if the plane was pressurized when that was tested?

  Yes, to simulate the same pressure as high altitude (I believe around 35K'). That's why there was such a dramatic rupturing of the fuselage. [:0]
