I have done this myself on a 717.
There is not enough room to intentionally get it past the other nipples.
Nothing for it but to correctly identify where it lies, and remove the nipple adjacent to it, pop the spoke out of the hole and it should be okay.
If you are confident with wheels forgive this next bit, if not I hope it helps.
You don't need to worry too much about doing this:-
After replacing the nipple on the spoke (not dropping it into the rim ) just wind it up 1 full turn at a time at first until you feel a little weight, after each subsequent wind grab the spokes all round the rim to 'tension it'. Every few turns spin it round in the frame to check how true it is.
Once it gets tight start to turn the nipple half a turn at a time, tensioning between turns, spinning every time. Touch no other nipples, the wheel will eventually true up and you will not have ruined the integrity of your wheel.
First time you ride it it will ping, this is normal. After the first ride check for true, correct if necessary, job jobbed.
