Not that it helps him, but you don't need a minyan for Qaddish.

Qaddish is said after a section of tefillah, or after learning, by a
minyan. E.g. as long as you had a minyan for part of Pesuqei deZimra,
you can say Qaddish afterwards.

Which sounds to me like having a minyan of people willing to answer
Yehei Shemeih Rabba and Amein from whereever they are up to wouldn't
matter. After all, they aren't all saying the section of tefillah the
Qaddish closes.

That said, this line of reasoning would have an aveil be very careful
when saying a Qaddish after Qorbanos that there was a minyan that indeed
said Qorbanos together and are finishing just then. My shul on Shabbos
is pretty yeshivish, no Chazan until Shochein Ad. It is quite likely
nowhere near a minyan finished when the aveil just says Qaddish out loud.
Same thing comes up when people are coming late, and he says Qaddish
as soon as the 10th arrives. (Maybe 9 who finished and a 10th is okay,
though.)

Tir'u baTov!
