Given the amount of guitars with Fenders with vintage-spaced Strat bridges or Floyd Roses and vintage-spaced Gibson humbuckers in the bridge that have no actual performance issues, you should be fine as is.

I had P-Rails in a Jag and they sounded great. The mismatched radius wasn‘t really an issue.

Do you mean the E strings are falling off the edges of the neck/fretboard? If so, that's a different problem, but also not a problem you should have with a factory-installed Squier Jazzmaster bridge.

Can you please post pictures of what you mean?
