Main problem is that a brake hydraulic system exerts VERY high pressures which a patch just won't hold.
Even if its a braided hose, cut it with pliers/snips.hacksaw even) to remove the knackered bit. The plastic bit is just a cover to make it look prettier & not damage the soft alloy parts of your bike.
I erally think the only chance of making a repair that works is fitting a bit os metal pipe in the hose to join them.
It'll still be a bit "hit & miss" to stop it being forced apart when you use the brake!
Easiest thing is as mentioned, just disconnect it - most braking is via the front anyhow (unless off roading).
Good luck.
