I'm curious what anyone does when they have 1/2 of a tube left. For example, I have our first Super Mable cover (the bladder gave out), an Airhead Viper (2-person) cover where I'm unable to repair the tube where it split the seam, and an O'brien Screamer tube (the cover ripped).

The Super Mable cover is a little worn, but fully functional. The Viper is like new and was only used a few times over three years.

I'd like to clean out stuff I have that isn't usable, but also, if I could make them usable (mostly the Viper), I would do that. I'm no hoarder, but it seems like a waste to just toss them. I've checked into replacement costs for part of the tube and it is close to the full retail price.

I also have a Viper 2-person and one of the bladders gave out a couple of years ago. I ordered two new bladders (just the seat sections) through Airhead's customer service dept. and if my memory serves me correctly, they were around $15 each plus shipping. Where did you check into replacement costs? If it was through a dealer, google Airhead (and the others for that matter) and contact them directly.
