Photo of Baby lakes wing tip bow and spar taper at wing tip.

I want to add another outboard rib to wing tip to create a "lifting bay" instead of the taper to bow.
Would this additional full size rib make any difference to the wings lift?....wing area remains approx the same.

Can I just glue a wedge of spar material onto spar to rebuild spar taper back to full size?
