If the tape was spliced with proper splicing tape there will not be a problem. If it was spliced with ordinary household tape, then you should manually go through the tape and redo the splices with proper splicing tape and a proper splicing block. You should practice splicing technique using an old tape that you don't care about before working on your valuable tape. I don't know what solvent you should use to remove any sticky goo from the old scotch tape. Perhaps someone can comment on this.
Some decks will do horrible things if a tape breaks when playing, so your concern is justified. If this happens you may have a bunch of crinkled tape and it is hard to smooth this out to make the tape playable without dropouts. Other decks, such as my Nak CR-7a, simply shut off before any damage is done.
Good luck.
