In all probability, you should still be able to play
a partial MPEG-TS file (.ts extension, inside the
MPEG-TS container) with most of the known
software players (e.g MPC-HC & its fork MPC-BE
- on Windows - are both known to work),
especially since the missing segment occurs
at the end of the partial file (so timestamps
should be OK by that point).
Even hardware players with AVC/AAC support
should also be able to cope with...

If you MUST  have the MP4 media container, use ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -v 8 -stats -i "<fileprefix>.partial.mp4.ts" -c copy -bsf:a 
aac_adtstoasc "<fileprefix>.partial.mp4"

where "<fileprefix>" is the name/title of your download.
