One goofy thing you could do if you have extra .1 600V caps is put 2 in series to make a .05 1200V....I did that a couple of times during my broke college student days and it worked out fine. Identical capacitors in series the capacitance divides by the number of caps and the voltage adds. If the caps have different capacitance and or voltage the math gets messy fast...
Ordering the correct part scores you more points with the next owner of the set though.
