Hi trosty,
It is possible to repair that kind of damage with Leatherique crack filler, but I don't think you will be happy with the results. Some upholstery restoration shops can replace the leather, but I think it would cost a small fortune. Your best bet may be to find a salvaged steering wheel in better condition, and if necessary, give it a refreshening with Leatherique dye. That's the route I opted for on our '93, and I was very happy with the results:

I have experience with CraftCustoms Jaguar Steering Wheels and Wood Dashes - Craft Customs in Texas. They did a full leather job with extra 1/16" pad. $320 . Excellent work. Quality leather.
