As long as you tied her up good you should be ok I’ve done this many, many times and most times the plant has barely noticed if I taped it up quick

Besides that you did the best you can do to fix it IMO

Only other thing you can do is to support each side a bit so weight or wind dosent cause more damage, I’ve used electrical wire and put basically a splint on the plant that straddles over the split and ties to each side

I think you should put a temp longer bandaid / bandage tie the two together to get the wound to heal. Keep the top bandage on until your initial repair heals. Then take off the top tape off. Inspect from there the wound and need for additional bandages.

Is that where you topped? Never top right at the node, leave a little bit of stem above your last node and it won't split like that.
