Are you comfortable ending the vine there, or do you want more growth?
When I terminate a vine because it has reached the end of the patch, I
just cut off the vine and bury it about three inches deep so it doesn't
loose water as fast, or get infected.
I would bury it to stop splitting and other problems.
