I would at least give try because you have not much to loose:

Disassamble the flyback

Remove the outer metal shell of the transformer

press the broken parts of the core together

if the gap disappears you can try to superglue both parts together afterwards

ferrite can be superglued very well usually

Yes, but only use the thin viscosity glue.

The thin stuff wets and soaks into the iron grain and won't add any gap. IT seems that most places only seem to sell the gel type. Cyano is best when used with a tiny well fit gap, but many hobbyists don't use it to the full advantage or use it in the proper applications, which is why it tends to get a bad rap.

Thank you for your explaination which I fully agree.
Of course I cannot say anything about the availibility of thin super glue in the US.
Here in Austria you can buy gel and thin super glue in almost every superette
