Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Hopefully you measured the chain generously. If you're lucky the only damaged link is the outer link where it snapped, and you can carefully punch out the other end and replace it with the connector. If you were unlucky, you might need to cut out an extra pair of links before connecting it, which is when not cutting the chain as short as possible comes in handy.

If the chain is now too short, you can splice in an extension - as little as one inner link - using another connector.
