Default Broke spark plug wire during install

Alright here's the situation.

I broke a spark plug wire while I was doing my header install. Since I live in Hawaii it's a pain in the A$$ to get anything when you need it.

I have 7 good wires and 1 bad one. My car is in the military autoskills shop. If I don't come up with a solution to this problem by the end of tomorrow. My car will end up being in there until Weds. They're closed on Monday and Tues.

Would I do any damage if when I was done with the install.. I plugged in the 7 good wires and drove the car out of there so that it isn't stuck for 2 days?

Thanks for your help?

Would any type of plug wire be a good temp fix.. until I can get my new set.

And as said before.. the car will only be drive a block and a half..

Thanks

I am no expert on that but I know I would try it with the shortest wire I could find, since it is less than two blocks.
