I haven't run into this situation first hand. But I am likely to with a planter I am going to try either this year or next. So I'm quite interested in how you solve it.
I'd try some sort of insert to take up some space in the can, but a little different method than Gene suggested. I'm assuming you have a Richmond hopper or similar. The part of the outer edge of the seed plate that is exposed inside the hopper should have seed resting on all of it to minimize planting skips. Try an insert like Gene described, but rather than a hole in the center, cut a crescent shape slot around part of the outside. Orient the slot over the exposed part of the plate and dump your seed into the slot. You may find foam rubber easier to work with than styrofoam.
To minimize skips, you may find that you need to plant at a lower speed than you would with an unmodified hopper.
