After travelling a long way from my base to find a jungle, I brought back 4 seedlings and planted my own jungle tree which grew fine. However, due to the low seedling drop rate of jungle trees I hesitate to chop it down for wood for fear it won't drop 4 seedlings or more to replace it and I may have to go back to the jungle again.
If I simply bash off some of the foliage until I get a seedling will it regrow so I can repeat untill I'm assured of enough seedlings and then cut the tree?

No, the only way to get leaves is to plant a new tree, which requires seedlings of course.
But if you break the leaves with a tool enchanted with Fortune before chopping it down you increase your chances of getting enough saplings.
A pickaxe works just fine, no need to try to enchant an axe.
Good luck.
Just testing.
