Fear not Mark, just plant up all the bits and at least one of them will grow on normally next year.
If there is a dormant bud in the broken off bit you may even get a second small plant.
Oh... and be more careful next time ;)

If you plant it nomally, it could well come up this first time with shortened (as if broken off) leaves. As Ian says, should be OK later.
