The oil drains out of the head within say an hour, so the extra time doesn't matter there.
When you do drive it, drive long enough to warm all the fluids, etc up. I'd guess a minimum of 15 minutes after the temp gauge shows "normal" operating temp would be ok, 30 minutes would be better. The idea is to warm the oil up enough to boil off the water vapor that forms in the crankcase. You also want to heat up the whole exhaust system for the same reason. Brakes and bearings will follow too.
Keep the tank full, avoids condensation.
