Ouch… that stinks. If your housing is relatively high-zoot, Jagwire offers double-ended ferrules that allow splicing of two sections of housing; you'd just need cables city to the new length. Otherwise, might I also recommend Velo Orange's stainless steel braided brake & derailleur cable/housing kits? I use 'em and like 'em.
