Default Schottky rectifier improvisation

A Schottky diode in the standby power supply of a Panasonic
TH-P42X30T plasma TV failed short but I don't have a spare or any
close substitute. It's a B3100 (3A, 100V) used in a single-diode
half-wave configuration.

The DC output seems to be 15V. Load current, peak reverse voltage
and frequency unknown. I have some 1N5822s which have a Vr rating
of only 40V.

Ordering parts from here takes a month or more. I'd like to do at
least a temporary replacement of the diode and see if there's
anything else wrong.

I'm thinking of using two 1N5822s in series and parallel each
with a resistor to help distribute the reverse voltage evenly.
Choosing a suitable resistor value wouldn't be a problem with
low-leakage Si PN diodes but the 1N5822 has a published max
leakage of 2mA (0.12mA typical) at Vr(max) at 25°C, 20mA at 100°C.

What value of resistors do you suggest? Is my idea at all feasible?
