Its like a string so you don't need to remove the cassette; http://www.amazon.com/FiberFix-Emergency-Spoke-Replacement-Kit/dp/B001GSMQZC
Spokes failed midpoint which is unheard of apparently - I did have a slight issue with the derailleur just catching the spokes in lowest gear a few weeks back, but quickly fixed and there was no apparent damage.
Thinking about it I have had an occasional "pinging" noise ( that I thought was from the front but could have been the back) on really rough surfaces, so the spoke tensions may have been out?
I had a DNF on BCM :( . The Cycling Gods struck me down for my travel light philosophy. I suffered a series of spoke breakages. The first occurred Sat lunchtime close to Aberystwyth so had a repair and retrue at a bike shop. The second happened just shy of the halfway point and that was that. So nearly 300Km ridden and nearly £300 total spent on cabs to get back to Chepstow (wasn't going to go through a 6hr multiple changes Bank Holiday train journey with no guarantee of getting the bike onboard) . Live and Learn!
Going to invest in some kevlar repair spokes.
