The flyback has a ferrite core going down the middle of the windings
and extending outside to form a large 0. This large 0 is made with a
split which is held together by a large U shaped spring clamp. Is the
external portion where to wrap these new primary windings around?
Yes.
The crack (from falling form the workbench) is the ferrite and is all
the way through. The large U clamp keeps it still in one piece. Do
do think it would be ruined?
Probably fine for your purpose. I would not put it back in a TV or
monitor and expect it to work, but for experimenting with high voltage
you won't be running it at anywhere near its full power so it will
probably be OK.
