Recognizing that the original question referred to an MPASM
solution, an alternate approach would be an offline program to
manipulate the .hex file so that zeroes are written to all addresses
not otherwise filled.  Would take a few hours to write and test the
program, but may save time in the long run once the capability
exists.

Steve
