Nope, the getter only works on a singular molecular level on the surface it is deposited on. Surface area of getter flash is more important than amount of material in getter. You need a good hard vacuum for the tube to work.
Maybe you could rebuild a tube connected to a molecular ion pump continously, then you won't have to worry about a slow leaker.
