As mentioned it depends on the surface damage. Looking at the photos it looks probable the runway could have been used provided there was no risk of FOD issues. The Air Contractors B737 gear failure incident at East Midlands Airport in recent times gouged the runway surface enough to make it a safety issue so requiring the area affected to be planed out and replaced with a new surface before the runway full length became available.
Male's runway does feel a bit rough and bouncy in places and I do wonder how effective it is in quickly draining rainwater from the occasional tropical downpour. Maybe it's time they resurfaced the whole length to give a smoother running surface with improved drainage as many of the movements are "heavies" which over time contribute to surface deterioration.
