Default Broke a ring! Reuse an old one?

Was cutting ring end gaps from a new set of file-fit rings for my freshly honed, zz502 based Gen 6 BBC. On one cylinder, broke the second from the top ring. I can buy a new set of rings for one cylinder, but, as I have the original rings I took out of it, could I reuse that one ring? If so, should I rough up the side that contacts the cylinder wall with something like a Scotchbrite? Thanks.
