You could put the coil on a Rod that has the same Diameter as the Coil and then Unwind it.
you got picture of it, normally how i would do it is have it on the rda put the rod that you originally used while its still in tact i kind of tug it to make sure the coils are nice and tight.
Ir you could unwind it and wrap it again, problem with that is the kanthal might get weaker and create hot spots

Hi there mexin69, I am so sorry you are down to your last coil and hope these answers help. It was very easy to run out and get some cigarettes if I ran out but now that I am vaping, I try my best to make sure that I have backups for every backup I need. Just make sure you check it real close and make sure it glows from the inside out. Good luck to you. 
If the coil has not been used too much yet and I was desperate, I would try putting the pin it was made on back into it, pull it out of the device, unwind a couple of coils and re-install it. The longer the coil has been used, the more often you have dry burned it, the more fragile the Kanthal will have become and the less your chance of success will be. It will also depend on how good you are at doing this kind of thing.
I would ask myself what would be worse, vaping it at 2.8 ohms for a while or possibly not being able to vape at all for a while.
Whatever you do, good luck with it!
Agree with Ryedan (so what else is new? ).
Kanthal is fragile, and used kanthal is even more fragile. Get some more wire, and while you wait, just increase the voltage (wattage) on your battery and enjoy your 2.8Ω coil while it lasts.

The above answers may work but do yourself a favor,,, buy a one pound spool of Kantham and never worry about this sort of problem again.
I wouldnt even mess with it... the chance of breaking the coil and not having enuf wire to do anything would be a bummer...
