Are all radials making up a groundplane insulated from the mast/ground? No. Can they be insulated from ground/mast? Yes. Do whichever is easiest for you.
And just to keep things straight, an 'A99' or other antennas like it are not 'groundplane' antennas, there is no 'groundplane' to them, they don't require one. They use the feed line as the other 'pole'/groundplane/counterpoise.
