Yeah, but we saw with Naruto that Sage Mode doesn't last very long. Considering that Naruto's an Uzumaki with very high natural chakra reserves and could still maintain it for a period of two Rasenshuriken worth of chakra, then I guess if we factor in Jiraiya's better chakra control and experience with Sage Mode, he could maybe pull off two to three Oodama Rasengan worth of chakra before returning back to base mode. Of course, the difference between Jiraiya and Naruto is that Jiraiya has a large repertoire of varying techniques that he can use against the Swordsmen, but I believe he would still run out of Sage Mode when against the Seven Swordsmen if not for Fukasaku and Shima.
