Replace a driveshaft for the price of a boot!!! Things must be going mad over the pond a boot is less than 10$ in UK & even a CV will cost at least $60 equivalent.
If it's a clean split, you can glue on a patch once you've cleaned all the Moly grease off well with brake cleaner or similar. Over here you can get stretch CV boots that you can fit from the outside of the CV without dismantling the shaft - you have to remove the hub though. You can also get split boots that glue together with no dismantling needed at all - as long as the grease doesn't get where the glue should be they work well.
If the hole is any size, I wouldn't drive the car far - back in the days when I did road rallies (mid 1970's) I once did a rally with a split boot on my Mini Cooper S. We were belting down a road with loose surface chippings & some got through the split & into the CV. Having turned a left corner, I found the steering didn't want to self centre & was mostly jammed, with the result that we hit the hedgebank on the INSIDE of the bend exit & rolled three times down the road. I found the gravel in the CV when dismantling the wreck for rebuild. Since then I always keep a close eye on CV boots & NEVER drive a car with one split (They are an MOT fail in UK in any case)
