If the joint between fragments can be broken, the machine is not truly unbreakable. The breaking of the machine would involve the breakage of its joints.

Well, the machine needs to be composed of something, which involves something joining these things together.

It is composed of those unbreakable fragments - with nothing joining them together.

If they are fragments they can't be solid (joined together).

The machine would not stand or function—it would not be a machine. It is not a whole if the parts don't work in synergy.

Don't be ridiculous. Ofcourse it'd still be a machine - a non-standing, non-functioning one, sure - but still a machine. And parts don't need to work to make a whole - they just need to be put together.
