Best to get at least 2 litres of DOT4, and bleed front and rear until you get clean fluid

It depends on how much bleeding they take really, it's not an easy job to do sometimes, needs to be done properly or it'll be worse than before!

get yourself a litre and keep what you don't use...or buy more if it's not enough
