In short, my front turbo is seized and I need to drive ~620km in 5 days. I don't have time to replace it but I can't do that trip with my current fuel consumption.

620km with 16,7l/100km (14mpg) is 103l total. That's 186€, with a functional induction system I'd only be 90-100€.

To save fuel I was thinking of blocking off the seized front turbo outlet so I essentially run the rear twin alone at 8PSI. Then my AFR shouldn't be as horrible as it is now since the car is basically running NA with the fuel table for a boosted engine. Is that a bad idea and how could I block it off so that it still holds boost?

Dude cant you just take public transportation or something? You dont want to risk it and get stranded in the middle of nowhere. Leave your turbos alone unless you replace them.
