My past experience with Minicircuits is that they will not give you any data the "extends" the spec on a part. Simply put - if you are after 1 MHz data on a part that stops at 10, they are not likely to supply it.
I've had better luck getting data from them that is just not stated (as opposed to being outside a stated spec) -- for example, the nominal inductance of windings. I suspect the same might be true if someone asked, "What exactly do you mean by 'DC: 30mA?' " You probably wouldn't get hard data or graphs, but they might give you an idea of how they arrived at that spec.
In the end, though, the only way to be sure a certain part will work in any particular circuit is to build and test it.
Don't forget, you can generally keep DC out of transformer windings with shunt coupling (use an RF choke for the DC path, and capacitor couple into the transformer winding). It's an unwanted complexity, but some builders may prefer it to winding their own transformers.
