    You did the right thing by pruning back any portions that were frozen to prevent rot. As long as you protect them from any more cold conditions and avoid overwatering them, they will have the best chance to recover. You will just have to wait and see.

    Possible causes of a split like this include exposure to frost or extreme heat. If this is what happened, check the branches and trunk for soft spots that would indicate rot, and prune the softened branch to a few inches below the soft area.

    The split looks like it is not infected, so binding the two halves together until they can stand on their own will probably work. Zip ties are fine, or you can make a bandage out of cloth or tape and use a splint made of wood, similar to the one shown here:

    If it seems like the branches on either side of the split are too heavy and are pulling the trunk further apart, you can prune one of them off to stabilize the plant:

    Cuttings are generally taken in the spring. Cuttings are inserted into a pot of potting mix and watered throughly.

    It's worth a try to give your cutting a fresh cut and pot it up.

    Since you do have some healthy blooms on your plant, it looks like your Plumeria may possibly be suffering from Blossom Midge or some other pest. These articles may help you:

    The best time to cut back your Plumeria is spring or early summer.
    You can cut it down to 12 to 15" high.

    You would likely be fine to do it now. Cut back on the watering before and right after cutting it down.
    You can resume watering when you began to see new growth.
