Best vine in patch has developed a three inch long split less than a foot from stump. Strangest thing is the rest of the vine appears to be as vigorous as ever.
Two questions for you experienced growers:

1) Possible cause(s)?
2) What is liklehood of plant's productive survival?

TIA, Clutch

Dry weather or to much nitrogen. The plant should be fine, some of mine are split to.

I think there are many possible causes. many of my vines have split this year. I think mine was due to rapid growth. Your vines should not be affected much, if any. I had a vine last year that was nearly broken in two and it healed at a nearly 180 degree angle and was fine for the rest of the year. That was my 211 Leonard plant.
