How soon after dying ones hair and ending up with an orange disaster can one dye it again to neutralize it?

If your hair is in good condition then you can re-colour it.
If not, then give your hair a break for about two weeks.

Thanks! My hair was in good condition before the first dye, not so great after it. I got an ammonia free ash base dye and colored it the next day. It neutralized the color, and my hair is still in tact.
