You should be able to kill Jon with that party but you will probably need prepare differently for the battle. Offensive magic isn't nearly as effective as magic that buffs up your own party or takes down the defenses of the enemy. First off I would say one of the most important spells you can have ready is true sight. This spell will dispell any invisibility that an enemy has each round that the spell is in effect. This is VERY helpful. Second off I would agree with the other posters who have said to concentrate on Jon. Forget the demons. A few summoned creatures can distract them if need be. Have all manner of dispelling stuff ready (ruby ray,breach,secret word are very important spells for my mages to have ready). Also don't be afraid to pull out the stops here using scrolls,wands etc that you have found along the way. There are some pretty powerful scrolls available to you that you might not be able to memorize but you could still use the scroll.
As for prep of the battle protection from evil 10' radius is big,I use chant & bless for big battles.defensive harmony is nice. Haste is a must and if you have improved haste use it (a dual wielding character that is specialized can get 6 attacks while improved hasted I believe). you might want to do resist fear (I cannot recall if any spells like symbol fear get flung around or not).
anyways instead of fling offensive spells with imoen I would strongly recommend that she be prepared to constantly tear down all of Jon's defenses. Your hasted melee guys should be able to do more than enough damage to kill him.
