Yes. Just use 7 pounds of light or extra light DME for the two-row.
An issue could be with a partial boil, and topping up, because it's hard to get enough IBUs into solution that way. What I mean is, say your wort has 80 IBUs and you end up with 2.5 gallons after boiling. Adding 2.5 gallons of water (with 0 IBUs) to this means a 40 IBU beer so it would lose some bittering.
To counteract that, boil as much as you possibly can and add the majority of the extract (and corn sugar) near flame out. That would help.
