I think you have a good chance of killing it trying to get it out of the jiffy. I ahve never used a jiffy pellet, do the disolve or crumble? You may consider just putting it into the aerogarden. Oh and add an airstone into the aerogarden , makes a huge difference.
I already have an airstone connected to an airpump dude, got it going through one of the 7 holes, and taped up so no light/heat gets in there.
So it would be possible to plant the jiffy pellet, (with net) into the aero basket and into a hole? No rot is going to occur in the pellet? Of course it won't be submerged in water, but hopefully half the roots from it are in water when the time comes- I'm pretty sure the net being 1 inch away from water is enough clearance for roots to be aired and wattered.
Gots a connie chung in paper towel, if the aero sponges get here before it germs and needs planting then I can just scrap my jiffy pellet idea
Oh yeah and how jiffy pellets work, their little disks of enriches dirt (i believe) with a net around them, you soak them in water for 5, 10 minutes and they expand, usually your supposed to pull the net off and plant them into a soil mix, but I seeing as it would be harmful and probably impossible to pull it out with it's roots and plant into a sponge (with its roots) I'll just have to keep it in it's net and stuck in the aero hole/basket as a hydro medium

Here's to anyone who may read this in the future. My solution is to let it grow roots in the jiffy pellet, then just crumble away the soil, leaving me with a baby plant and some roots.
Before crumbling the soil, cut a yoga mat to a 1" circle, make a small hole in the middle, then create a 1 direction slit, sort of like the lid of a disposable cup, the insert for the straw ;>
put the roots down through the bottom, and it should close tight enough to keep it in place, next tape the cut piece to the aerogarden base, creating a hydro system without a medium. Just simply above ground and underground
