If you blow out the pilot light wouldn't the gas continue to seep into the over and kitchen? I would call your local gas company and ask them how to properly clean a gas oven. Or maybe the instructions are in the owners manual if you still have one.
To shut off the pilot light for the oven, you can shut the valve for the gas line by raising the top surface of the stove. There should be a valve near the far left or right side of the stove. This will shut off all of the pilot lights including the stove burners.
Yes, if you do not turn off the pilot light the gas will continue to flow into the oven. I recommend turning off the gas supply at the connection to the stove, which is located near the rear of the stove top.

When you finish cleaning the oven, or stove top, turn the valve on and relight ALL of the pilot lights (usually 2 for the stove top and 1 for the oven).
