Can ailerons control a broken cable on 1/3 flaps?

I was hoping to get your opinion on whether there is enough authority in the ailerons to fully offset the unintended roll from a broken cable of 1/3 flaps. My guess is yes, based on the fact that the ailerons are further outboard (providing a greater moment arm) and that at their fullest they displace further down than 1/3 flaps. But it's strictly a guess and hoped others might share their opinion.
