Yep, it is simple, and you've even mentioned the solution yourself.
Just enclose both occurrences of $@ in double quotes. You also need
to enclose the blocks variable in {} to ensure the final "s" doesn't
get interpreted as part of the variable name:

	#!/bin/sh

	blocks=$(mkisofs -J -r -quiet -print-size "$@")
	mkisofs -J -r "$@" | cdrecord -dao -tsize="${blocks}s" -
