With luck you didn't do much damage, but you need to find out. Without much inductance, due to very high circuit Q, you could have damaged additional MMC caps. Good idea to do a HV leakage current test on each MMC ( at 2 kV or less) to see how many uA or mA they draw. Some internal damages may have occured which will cause other good caps in the series string to fail --- the defective units will short and conduct like a wire putting additional stress on any remaining good caps.

Can this test be done as simply as using a 120v to 18v transformer wired "reversed" for about 800v?
How are the results interpreted?
