Hey Mark,
I also have a sail cover from the fellow in Little Rock, which I use when towing my boat. When not towing I have a full boat cover so I don't have a need for a furled jib cover.
Because the furled jib is secured in the mainsail cover after the tabernacle I believe all that needs to be covered is about 7 feet from the furler to the tabernacle and this could just be a simple rectangle of material rolled around the jib and secured with some sail ties or bungee ball ties. The cover would probably need a slit to accommodate the jib sheets as these would need to remain uncovered. Probably a local car or boat upholsterer could make it more professional with Velcro or zippers if you brought them a mock-up.
I did a quick check on Sail Rite and their cheapest kit is about $250. I'm sure you could make one or have one made for much less than that.
Attached is how I would probably approach it
