Sounds like a good idea, my computation comes to about one pound of flotation per foot of mast. Maybe 20 # for the whole mast, I think mast weighs more than that, mine is off boat and will weigh it this weekend, but little or not it may help. If you can get enough foam to block and seal top and bottom, thats all you need, but if jib halyard runs thru, like mine, you would have to seal above and below that. Maybe just also inject some in there and dig out enough to run the halyard back through again.??? Have a go and let us know!
