I tend to agree with Ben here. Do people usually offset "OK" with a
comma? It feel unnatural in this circumstance because colloquially,
people don't pause between "OK" and the rest of the sentence, and "very
well then" is also spoken without pause.
Perhaps it's just you Americans, but a comma in these situations makes
perfect sense to me! :-p
The spoken "then" is always said as an offset, surely? "OK [rising
intonation], then [falling intonation]". Or is it just me? Maybe it is...
