ROF is the rate of fire--how many shots that weapon can fire off in one round. This is independent of the number of melee attacks a character can make in a round.
Each range category (Short, Medium, or Long) includes attacks from distances equal to or less than the given range. Thus, a heavy crossbow fired at a target 136 yards away uses the medium range modifier.
The attack roll modifiers for range are -2 for medium range and -5 for long range.
Arquebuses (if allowed) double all range modifiers.
