Say my name is Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, but since that name is
obviously nuts, they can feel free to call me by my nickname "スーパ". But I
don't mean for them to just refer to me as "スーパ" with no suffix (呼び捨て). They
should call me "スーパ+さん/くん/ちゃん" as they see fit. Is there any particular way to
indicate this, or is it already implied?

In particular, what I think I might say is "僕はスーパカラ何々何々です。どうぞスーパと読んでください。"

However, I'm not exactly sure what the implication might be here. Is it
implied "call me スーパ (with whatever suffix you want)" (which is what I
desire)? Or is it implied "Call me スーパ (呼び捨てで)" (which is not what I want)?
And if it's the latter, how should I phrase things to imply the former?

How to tell someone to call you by a certain name, but they're free to use whatever suffix they please?
No Japanese native will interpret （名前）と呼んでください as an instruction to leave
honorifics off of your name. They will absolutely add honorifics to your name
if you're conversing in Japanese, until there is some other reason for them to
change how they call you. It's totally normal to introduce just your name and
then for people to apply the honorific of their choice. You don't need to tell
them to from the start.
