If you breed a Jungle Corn (50% Corn, 50% Cal King) to a normal Corn you get a Super Corn (75% Corn, 25% Cal King). If you bred a Super Corn (75% Corn, 25% Cal King) to a normal corn would the offspring be 100% corn?

No..try this
F1 = 50/50 Jungle
F2 = 75/25 Super
F3 = 87.5/12.5 whatever you want to call it
F4 = 93.75/6.25 " " " " " "
F5 = 96.875/3.125 " " " " " "
F6 = 98.437/1.562 " " " " " "
F7 = 99.218/.781 " " " " " "

I think you get the idea

That is very possible...I just went by what he called it...I don't really know.
I was just trying to show the percentages as a jungle is bred back to a pure corn and each subsequent offspring is bred back to a corn.

No, It isn't, here's a pic and here's the link that says it is 75% corn and 25% cal king. Although different breeders might call it different things but I have seen enough people call these Super Corns.
Super Corn

Once in has cal king genes in it you can never truely breed it back to 100% corn snake genes.

Once the animal has 99.2% corn genes (F7 generation) it seems to me that it's close enough to pure that nobody would know the difference, possibly not even by DNA testing would one be able to determine that an animal at that level wasn't a purebred. I'm willing to bet that there are plenty of wild-caught "purebred" corns with less than 99% pure corn genes.

At some point, the "pollution" becomes insignificant, and in my book under 1% would be that point.
