Stupid DIY oil change and filter question

Hi all:
Well had some free time today and thought to change the oil in my 2003 SE 'vert. Had it jacked up, drained oil from pan, replaced plug with new washer... and began to undo the filter when I realized -- I didn't have another one to replace it with!
DOH!
Had to get car out of shared driveway, so filled up with 4L of synthetic and parked it again.
So my question is this:
1) New oil and old filter... how long can I safely go?
2) If I ran out and got another filter, could I simply replace the filter without all my fresh oil coming out of the filter housing?
Thanks all.
Eric
