It is not a problem to replace shorter sections of metal line with rubber hose designed to hold the heat and presure of transmission fluid. I used 2 clamps per side because I had no bulge in thr cut metal line. This was to insure that the rubber line did not come loose.

I had 2 lines go bad on my car and fixed them this way and the fixed was still working 50 k miles later.

I also did that fix for about a week without a problem until the replacement line showed up at the dealer. It seems to work, but I wouldn't leave it permanently patched together like that.
