The cleanest way DIY way I've seen is the way TCRS handles flexgate ribbon repairs. [1]
Cut both cables. Scrape the coating. Tin the copper on both sides. Slightly overlap both cables. Tack them down, and create a solder bridge. [1 around minute 25]. Span the gap with small wire [1 around minute 29]. Finish up with conformal coating [1 around minute 57].
