There won't be much more air and that doesn't change the technique needed to bleed. My advise is to what you've done before! Be patient and read that DIY sticky.
This is the answer best thing since sliced bread

Here's how I do my clutch and brakes.
Get a battery fluid filler at auto parts store for 2 bucks and some dot 4 for 2 bucks. Suck in the brake fluid with the plunger on fluid filler and then loosen the bleeder. Pull off master cylinder cover then watch it fill up while you squeeze the bulb on filler. Fills it from the bottom up in seconds with no bubbles
