Holidays took a toll on my $$$... finally ordered 48 12oz bottles from NB and getting them Wednesday which will be week # 4 in the primary.

Is 4 weeks fine? I'd assume so but haven't really seen much info on Hefe's and fermenting lol
 
4 weeks should produce no significant problems. At most you have likely given the beer a little extra conditioning time for the flocculated yeast to settle ;)

But don't wait too much longer... Get that bottle conditioning rolling!
 
No worries on four weeks. My first brew was a hefe and I was taught to leave ales in the fermenter for four weeks. It was good! Enjoy it!
