Even assuming it wasn't part of a larger system it's hard to give a useful answer for this without a specific orbit and timing. The Δv here was ~2 cm/s which isn't much but what that means in encounter distance depends on the other variables more than it depends on the impact. If you've ever tried to set up encounters or dock in KSP you know what I mean!
