They were able to extract the other two from Tuvix. Just have the teleporter clone them (like it accidentally did with Riker) and keep Tuvix. You end up with Tuvok, Neelix, and Tuvix. Three valuable staff members (well two - Tuvok and Tuvix) for the price of two.
Star trek is infamous for having word altering implocations for their teleporter and then never touching it again. Half of all problems could be solved by some variation of teleporter fuckery, which would be a very boring show. And also iirc they only cloned riker by a freak interaction with a planets atmosphere, so that wouldnt be an option.

How about, bring back Tuvok, Tuvix and Neelix, then just kill Neelix?
