Uncompress cite references locally
Here is a workaround, by using separate \cite macros, in the form of \cite{testref1}$^,$\cite{testref2,testref3,testref4}. I have encapsulated this in \mcite using the following syntax with & separator:
\mcite{testref1&testref2,testref3,testref4&testref5,testref6,testref7}
Note that I added a references 4-7, since citing reference 2 and 3 together will show as 2,3 and not 2-3. Also, one has to manually deal with punctuation placement.

You could define a custom macro that processes the list of cites mantaining the commas like:
\newcommand*\citeuncomp[1]{%
\textsuperscript{%
\@for\thereference:=#1\do{\originalcite\thereference},}%
}
while \let\originalcite\cite. To get rid of the trailing comma you could define \def\processcomma{\def\processcomma{,}} and then say:
\newcommand*\citeuncomp[1]{%
\textsuperscript{%
\@for\thereference:=#1\do{\processcomma\originalcite\thereference}}%
}
Then you define switchtes that you use inside your text:
\newcommand*\citesuncompressed{\let\cite\citeuncomp\renewcommand*\@citess[1]{##1}}
\newcommand*\citescompressed{\let\cite\originalcite\renewcommand\@citess[1]{\textsuperscript{##1}}}
You could then use the solution like
...
\begin{document}
\citesuncompressed
This is some text that requires citation\cite{testref1,testref2,testref3}.
\citescompressed
This is some text that requires citation\cite{testref1,testref2,testref3}.
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{samplebib}
\end{document}
which yelds the following output.

Addendum
If the order of punctuation matters (i.e. having the dot before the citation) you can define as follows.
\newcommand*\citeuncomp[2]{%
\gdef\@tempa{#2}%
\ifx#2.\@tempswatrue\else\@tempswafalse\fi
\citeunc@mp{#1}%
}
\newcommand*\citeunc@mp[1]{%
\if@tempswa.\fi%
\textsuperscript{%
\@for\thereference:=#1\do{\processcomma\originalcite\thereference}}%
\if@tempswa\else\@tempa\fi
}
We can use the code that cite has internally for the nocompress option to turn things on and off:
