Is my action correct in not repeating the ablution after remembering to wash a part of the ghusl and washing it?

If someone performing to remove major ritual impurity forgets to wash a limb, they only need to wash that limb, and are not required to repeat the entire ghusl. This is because sequence (tartib) and continuity (muwalat) are not conditions for ghusl; rather, continuity is considered a by the majority of scholars. What you did is correct, and you are not required to repeat ablution after ghusl for , because minor ritual impurity is subsumed under major ritual impurity, and for someone performing ghusl for janabah, their ghusl suffices for ablution.
