I guess it depends on the fragments themselves, 
If your first fragment contains a UDP header (the first frag in the list)  then the RSS hash will be on the full 5 tuble 
Src/dst IP and src/dst udp 
But, for the other frags you'll not get src/dst udp since they are not present in the pkt.
I guess you should be using only RSS On IP header to make all frags go to the same queue.
