My only reservation about welding a bunch of hoes on one longitudinal line along the mast is that you may curve the mast by doing so from weld shrinkage. It's just hard to say. If I wanted to curve a long straight piece like that, that would be one option to try doing so.

That $100 per hr welder will know to alternate between sides.
