At some point either the rope or the limb gave way. Scripture says he "fell headlong".

Bodies do not gain weight through decomposition.
After death swelling and bloating is simply the transformation of solid tissue into other forms.
Until later stages of decomposition not a very large change in weight occurs. And then the body
loses weight. According to your theory Judas would have had to gain 2 or 3 times body weight to break the rope. That is impossible.
Most third parties reading your response so far would give you a "F"
