How far can I drive with too much oil

My wife's car gave the 5% oil life sign. I thought that this meant that it only had 5% of the needed oil in it, so I added two quarts. I realize that this was dumb.
I am now significantly over the oil line. As it turns out, I have an appointment at the dealership tomorrow, and the dealer is 25 miles from where I live. Am I safe driving the car the 25 miles, or should I drain some of the oil? Let's assume I am about a full quarter over what I should be (the two quarts added, less the oil used in 7,000 miles of driving).
Thanks.
