As I was trying to break loose the galvanized pipe from a Tee joint, the pipe snapped at the joint. I applied PB blaster to the rusted connection and let it set for about 30-45 minutes before attempting to loosen it. Is there a way to remove the joint without cutting off any of the remaining pipes?

You may have another convenient option. Since a part of the piping is already PVC with glued fittings you could remove the iron pipe and fittings back to other joints and then replace this problematic TEE and adjacent iron piping with PVC pipe and PVC fittings. You would then adapt back to the iron pipe at those other joints.
The glued PVC fittings are low cost and really easy to work with.
