You can't get just the line. It's replaced as an assembly.

Is there a way to patch it short term?

If it's metal, you could get some line the right size, a couple unions, and cobble it together. Need a flaring tool for that exercise. Do NOT use compression fittings. They can't deal with the pressure.

If it's a soft line that blew up, nothing you can do with it. If you are REALLY lucky, you *might* be able to take the line off, bring it to someplace like TSC, and they might be able to make one up for you.

Then you should be able to patch it, if you have the right tools.

The right size lines, two unions, 4 flare nuts that are the right size, and threads, and the flaring tool. Cut out the part of the line thats bad, slide the flare nuts onto the line, flare the line, screw the union on. Gotta do that for all four ends.

It sounds like it would be easier to just replace the assembly

Depends on where the line is routed. If you have to cut it in places that are difficult to get to, simply because that's where the 'good' line is.... yeah.
