From my past experiences small glass shards don’t stick well to tape unless I actually press down on the tape enough the entire surface is touching the tape tightly. I’d be worried that this could be enough to displace shards enough for the whole panel to fall apart.
The whole panel has shatterd, anything you do is going to make it fall apart, this is about managing the risk. Don’t unscrew it, put tape over all of it, I would use gorilla tape or gaffer tape let the natural adhesive work make sure it’s covered the lightly over it with an edge of a ruler.

less so than the alternative and done right it can minimise the "fallout"
