You have answered your own question as to why this isn't done; because you need to find the required length (which isn't too hard to do) and to make spoke kits for every combination, they would need to make virtually an infinite number of SKU's.
One thing you haven't mentioned, is this wheel the same as in the picture, with the belt drive? if not, just going to your nearest Decathalon (you have listed your location as Paris FR), and buying an off the shelf wheel would be quick and easy.
If it has the belt drive, you will probably be limited to keeping the hub, why the reluctance to swap the spokes, no mention of who the original wheel broke? were any spokes damaged due to this?
Really thinking if you need to answer any of the questions asked, you should be going to a LBS to get a replacement wheel, and getting them to do all the work, and just paying what they ask. This will get you back on the road, and maybe look at buying the parts to build another wheel so you can practice and learn how to do it in slow time?
