An in-track burn separates by changing the orbital period, so displacement grows as Δx = 3·Δv·t. Lead time, not delta-v, is what buys miss distance — the same burn an hour later is worth proportionally less.

B-plane projection37.1%

Only the component of that displacement perpendicular to the 13.42 km/s relative velocity lies in the encounter plane and changes miss distance; the rest changes arrival time. At 21.8° off the relative-velocity vector, 10.9 km of drift becomes 4.03 km of additional separation.

Burn is short relative to the orbital period, so the impulsive approximation used above holds.
