It'll just be a little weaker. You would only be talking about 2 litres difference.

It will still do the job!

This beer thing is a great learning process, once you have done a few kits you will feel much more confident.

I would try to get it down to 1006 especially considering you added more water than necessary. You could give it a gentile stir with a sanitised spoon to get the yeast back into suspension.
