Ran late this morning and did not incorporate the water a cup at a time. Is it fixable ?

I have never broken a roux (probably luck more than skill), so I have no actual experience to fall back on. I'd make some new roux and add it to what you have in the pot to pull things back together. It won't take as much new roux (added) as you have in there now.

I had one break one time (I don't know why). I was able to get it back together, but it took some effort. Whisk, whisk, whisk. I eventually used a hand blender to finish it up.

I always keep some jar roux (powder) in case this happens. It will help soak some of that oil and make the gumbo a little thicker. Also, skim the remaining oil off the top and you should be ok.
I've had one break once before and I think it's because a scorched it. Left it on the fire a minute too long.
