The Yehi Ratzon is l'maaseh, a tefilah you make upon leaving the Sukkah for
the last time that year. Regardless of the reason why, l'maaseh you are not
leaving the Sukkah until after Shmini Atzeret (if that is your minhag). It
would not make sense to say the Yehi Ratzon and then go back into the Succah
to have another meal.
