How long can she take to get back to the white, say maybe via the orange? Dave Coffey

A lot depends on the time the umpire allows her to return to the bag. There is no time restriction on how quick a runner must return to 1B when overrunning the base.
It also depends on the game being played. If it isn't FP, then the ball is going to be dead anyhow.
