To do it correctly?
It's easiest with two new or unneeded DV tapes. First, flatwind a new/unneeded DV tape to the end. Then physically transfer the takeup hub of the broken cassette to that new/unneeded cassette and make the splice to the tail leader preserving as much of the leader as possible.
Remove the takeup hub from the other new/unneeded tape and splice its head leader to the remaining tape on the supply hub of the broken tape again preserving as much of the leader as possible.
You can use one new/unneeded cassette but you'll have to spool tape off to get both hubs bare to the leader.
This is the only way to avoid head damage or further tape damage.
Small format tapes are a PITA, especially without the correct sized splicing block, but with patience you should prevail.
