Of course, one option is a total liner replacement- not exactly a do-it-yourself project! But it can be done and there are guys that will do it for you (for a hundred bucks).
As far as patching it yourself...I have patched holes like this. If you can find a source for raw leather, you can make your own patch, cut to fit whatever size or shape you need. There are adhesives made for cloth and leather that remain flexible after drying. One I have been using lately is "Shoe Goo" (you can get a huge tube for $4.00 at Walmart in their shoe department). This stuff creates an essentially permanent bond. Before using it on a glove, I tested it on two strips of leather, overlapping them about an inch. After only one hour of drying (the instructions say maximun strength is acheived in 24 hours) I simply could not pull the two strips apart.
