The problem started when I cut the cable in half on accident. It's a
very small coaxial cable.

Question is, can you just solder it back and expect it to work OK?

It will work so long as you maintain seperation of the shielding and
wire, BUT you might encounter some signal loss even with a good splice
or splicing joint, such as those sold at West Marine. Best thing is to
just try it.
