You could certainly add another block hanger to your boom, but I don’t see why you would need to do that. If you’re going to use the 16 boom with the 14 sail, the position of the blocks would not need to change since the location of the blocks relative to the rear crossbar is not changing.

I think it would be difficult to add another bead to the halyard after it’s already been assembled. An easier approach would be to create a pigtail (extension) that you can attach between the halyard shackle and the head plate on the 14 sail. Then you could continue to use the existing bead on the halyard.
