Try:
iv -d /dev/rfp000 >d0
vi d0, changing "badblocktable	1" to "badblocktable	1	empty"
and deleting all of the unwanted bad spots.  Then
iv -uv /dev/rfp000 d0
should do it for you.

This assumes that there was no data that you wanted mapped to any of those
bad blocks, either eliminated or remaining.  They're all gone.
