THIS is EXACTLY why I cringed so hard in bryn's thread back in the day and everyone else thought I was being lame, but this is the precise reason why using jubliee clips on the main hp oil feed to the motor is a bad plan, for the sake of 15-20 quid for proper re-enforced crimped hydro hoses!
I doubt ull have done much damage, but any further you would have tightened it up, cars running hellish low on oil, no matter how low, as long as the oil pump still picking up oil, will go on for ever and be fine, but with a hose split it will totally drain it / oil light come on as you said, and if you have no oil pressure, it wont last long, trust me, will be matter of minutes before the top end starts sqeeling / scoring the crap out of things and bottom end will lock up in no time.
But 20 seconds up the road with bit of pressure will have been ok, fill with oil and fire up and be reet.
