I think that a bonding cable is required to be continuous but would need to check.
If you join it, I would recommend you use a ratchet crimper, NOT those squeeze and pray affairs.
 
I think it can have joints. regs from 543 thru 547 make several mentions regarding joints in bonding conductors; in particular they follow the regular rules for accessibility.

But, to the op, can you not use the old one to pull a new one in?

Thank you slip.
Some times my old brain needs jog, but yes you are correct, I personally hate joins.
Perhaps the OP could braze/solder the cables together and then wrap in self amalgamating tape.
