They could have filled the void
in the wing with a composite structure of fiberglass and ice.

Care to provide instructions on how to accomplish that?

Covered
the entire hole like a band-aid with a blanket wrapped around the leading
edge. The fiberglass would have melted on the outside, but the ice/water
of the composite would have kept the plasma out of the wing for a long
time.

How long?

The ice/water cooling the fiberglass and the fiberglass insulating
the ice/water, slowing it consumption rate.

Until the fiberglass is pulled off the surface by the airflow.

I really think they would have
made it to a safe landing.

Let's see the math.
