If you want to use the rest, I would just move that boa to eating one every 2 months, and if you pick up some regular larges give it a large every other feeding. So the feeding would look something like this:

Give it a jumbo: 2 months later offer a regular large. 1 month later, offer another jumbo, and then 2 months later do another large. Rinse and repeat until you've gone through all the jumbos and then it can stay on a large rat once a month from there.
