Hmmm. I didn't guess that you had this many entries per shipping method. In 
any case, if you were to apply my idea to this, it would look something like:

REC2ND  Standard Shipping (3-5 Days)    weight  0       60      f if ( 
$Tag->subtotal( { noformat => 1} ) + $Tag->salestax( { noformat => 1} ) <= 
28 ) { 0.98 } else { 0 }           {'PriceDivide' => "1",}

I really have no idea if it will work or not, though in theory it should.
