There is no option --guess to john. I'm not sure how useful this could be in the main tool.

The rexgen approach is indeed interesting, though it would be a jumbo specific implementation. I don't remember it being proposed when Guess was being discussed, do you see any specific benefits for considering this with a jumbo detection?
