You might be able to use some of the material from your storage area, most of these vinyls, are put down with PSA adhesive. The adhesive stays tacky, so if you can find a section in your storage area that will look better then your tear, you can cut out a section and peel it up, perhaps with a little heat from a heat gun, or blow dryer. Tape it in place over the tear, and cut thru both layers. The new piece should fit right into the spot where the tear used to be.
You can find seam sealers at Lowe's or a flooring supply house, you want a 2 part sealer for urethane floors. Lots of different brands, but they do the same job. They are just a coating formulated to stick to urethane wear layers.
Most flooring stores have small samples of in stock vinyls, you may find one that will work to fix the donor site in the storage area. Do the repair in the storage area first, for a little practice. If it doesn't work, at least you haven't cut your main living area floor.
