No, I would strongly advise against that. Plossls with focal lengths shorter than about 12mm are very hard to look through. They have short eye relief, and require you to really jam your eye into them to see the whole field of view.
I recommend this 3.2mm instead: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KQ2SP7R/ref=twister_B07KQ2TTG8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
It will be easier to look through, and offer a slightly wider field of view than a Plossl. The 3.2mm focal length will also get you better magnification for viewing Mars, which despite its closest approach to Earth, is still fairly small compared to Jupiter.
That eyepiece will get you 142x, which is a bit more appropriate for planetary viewing than the 114x that a 4mm would provide.
A slightly higher quality alternative would be the 3.2mm Astro-Tech Paradigm: https://www.astronomics.com/astro-tech-3-2mm-1-25-paradigm-dual-ed-eyepiece.html
