I'm not familiar with the "double male" fitting, but maybe this will work: Use a new length of replacement line and a Compression Union "splice", as in the fuel line fix below.

Pep Boys, Autozone, etc. sell several diameters and lengths of replacement brake line (as short as 12"), with 3 different types of flared ends. You should be able to find a match for diameter and flare end.

Use a tubing cutter to cut off one end of the replacement line section—and cut off the end of the old line cleanly. Be sure to put the old fitting nut on the new section, then connect new to old with the CU.
