My Tallis Katan tore vertically by the middle front edge, between the two corners, creating another two corners. Is it still Kosher?
Yes, the Tzitzis remains valid [so long as it has not torn throughout its entire length to the point that less than 6cm of attachment remains]. According to Admur in the Siddur, it is not even necessary for one to sew the tear even if it tore in majority of its length, and he may continue wearing it as usual. If it only tore slightly, then according to all sewing is not necessary, as it is not considered a valid corner.

Other opinions: Some Poskim rule one is always to resew a torn piece that tore in majority of its length in order so it not be a more than four cornered Tallis. [Ben Ish Chaiy Noach 8; Chesed Lealafim 10:4; Kaf Hachaim 10:7; Piskeiy Teshuvos 15 footnote 22; See Halacha 10A in Q&A!]
