You could give each of the fields you want to toggle off a class of say .hide, and simply create a style that hides elements with the class .hide inside of your query with nothing but css.

Personally, I would just redesign the field for mobile devices so that it fits the screen nicely, and isn't a hassle for the user; but if it's not necessary than I can see why.
