I leave all my beers in primary for a month, regardless of the style....
A month in a ale pale ok? I don't have a blowoff tube for my carboy. The temp is mid 60's for fermentation and its going like gang busters as we speak.
I can wait a month.....have a break over x-mas that would make a good time for bottling and getting another batch going.
A Month for a Pale Ale is Fine. Remember, you want your Yeast to do it's FULL JOB of cleaning up you're beer. Also, make the $3.00 investment and get yourself a Blow Off Tube. You'll thank me some day.

Well, as long as it is done, it'll be fine. Is it done? What's the gravity?
Most importantly, is the gravity holding steady? At 1.042, I'd say, it isn't done yet. If the gravity is reading the same over a 3 day period, the fermenting is done, but still let it sit for a couple weeks before bottling.
