We did the same, but we always had a wood post at least every 16 feet so we did not loose the stretch on the entire run. The wood posts also gave us something to pull the patch against. We used single wire stretchers on each wire of the patch. Not perfect, but not too bad either.

Patching was something we did a couple times a year. We had a field that was along a highway and it seemed folks always choose our fence to drive thru!
