I doubt that the rings have broken and deposited themselves on your bore. if the engine is out of the car i would hone and replace rings as a minimum. If not as a minimum I would hone one cylider at a time and reassemble. You may not have done any permanent damage.

If it were me i would ask my favorite machinist to come look at it and pronounce what is needed.
