I'm too lazy. I'd replace the one spoke, tighten until equal with its neighbors (not a whole lot of work) then check true. If close, tweak from there and done. Some spoke numbers, patterns and spoke tensions will go far off breaking just one. But if no damage happened, why do a full truing (unless that's fun).
