Default Need (only) 1 spark plug wire

I replaced my wife's '94 LS400 water pump this weekend with all but one thing going smoothly. When putting the right side distibutor cap cover back on, I apparently left one of the spark plug wires loose or misrouted. When I started the car I heard a flapping sound coming from under the cover, and later discovered that I cleanly sheared a plug wire. Since my ignition wire set is practically new (and I haven't found anyone to sell me a single wire), my question is: can I repair this wire by splicing it back together, or buy some generic ignition wire and reuse my connectors to create a replacement?

Any help would be greatly appreciated by me and my wife.

Thanks.

your best bet is to just buy a new set and know you'll have 7 spares left over for next time

I have a spare wire(Bosch set). You don't want to splice it. I did it once and it didn't work right. That's why I have a spare set(with one bad wire).
