Is it possible to obscure the subsystem names with the Matlab obfuscation? Are there other methods of strengthening model protection in the Matlab obfuscation?

Obscuring Simulink subsystem names might not be possible, but you can strengthen model protection by converting the subsystem (whose content you intend to protect) in a Referenced Model http://in.mathworks.com/help/simulink/ug/overview-of-model-referencing.html?searchHighlight=model%20referencing and then enabling protection.

You can have a look at the following documentation which shows the steps how to do it:

This short video (link given below) also nicely demonstrates how model protection can be enabled and how the Intellectual Property of a model can be protected:

Hope this helps!
