You don't need the master cylinder

Corn, the reservoir is held into the master cylinder by the rubber grommets (pressure fitted), usually you first have to pry out the reservoir and the new master comes with the rubber grommets.

However, since your reservoir broke inside the master, just remove the broken part first (even if means removing the rubber grommet), then re-insert the rubber grommet on the master cylinder and then re-install the new (or used) plastic reservoir.

My Alfa Romeo (and Fiat) has the same type of reservoir/master and I have done this a few times, you should not have any issues afterwards.
