Hydraulic oil line rusted - temporary fix?

A hydraulic oil line between the SLS valve and the ASD valve started leaking, and it's rusted through. (**** road salt!)

It's leaking really bad and the car is not driveable. I have bought a new line, but it's about 6' long and looks like quite a job to replace and bend.

My question is: Would it be possible to cut the line, put on a hose with clamps and make this a temporary fix? I don't have the time to replace the line this weekend. Is the pressure too high for the hose clamps?
