Is 1 gallon of head space in a 5 gallon carboy secondary OK or not OK?

Ended up racking 4 gallons of beer from my primary bucket into a 5 gallon carboy in order to dry hop with a secondary. Will this 1 gallon of extra head space cause any problems since there is no significant CO2 layer on top of the beer?
