You're ok: It's ok. The 'wait' is to allow time for the medication to absorb slightly in the airways before putting more in. It's probably also more theoretical too. The particle size of the medicine is small enough that it won't matter too much if you did your puffs right back to back. That important thing is that you took your meds as recommended.
