Brian,
You might be able to estimate the duration of the visibility of the plume from
this time-lapse animation done by the Canada France Hawaii Telescope. Looks
like it's less than a minute.

The ESA site states that the flash lasted less than a second, but provides no
more information than that. And you're not alone in being unable to find any
published photometry of the flash. I haven't read of any visual sightings of
it -- only that one C8/Webcam image.
