It’s probably possible to graft in a chunk of wood, but I’d always notice it. At this point it just needs hiding under a few layers of nitro and pretend that was always the plan.

It would be a real shame to lose all of that lovely grain pattern. You could try re-sawing down the centreline then gluing it back together minus a couple of mm and extending the parts you've already routed.
Alternatively rework the scratch plate to hide it
Or some kind of burst may look good.
Out of curiosity why did you opt for a router table over hand held and template?

If it's that that's stopping you getting the finish you want, (and you may have considered this already) could you route / chisel out the chip and glue in an offcut?
