Will it be okay to drive for a a week or two after cleaning off the oil and re-inserting the coil pack? The dealerships here take a week or two to set up an appointment.

Well there could be two possible scenarios.
a) oil will be pooling between the valve cover and the spark plug tube, but won't actually pour into the tube over the spark plug
b) oil would have already accumulated past the point of pooling, and will start filling in the spark plug tube
if you have condition A, there is nothing needed, just re-assemble and explain the condition to your dealer.
if you have condition B, clean out as much of the oil as you can (by using a cloth or paper towel to suck up the oil, or some other means). Next, clean off the coil pack, and apply some dielectric grease to the inside of the coil pack where it would normally contact the top of the plug - this will help ensure a good electrical connection by displacing any oil that might enter the area.
