Leaving it in the fridge that long won't hurt.  The fridge is acting as a dehydrator to dry off the outside of the bacon.  When dry, the skin will take on smoke better.

Don't worry about it.

That should be no problem, I'd probably wrap in pastic after 48 hours.

It should be fine, you can always send it to me to make sure.  ;) ;D

It should be fine in the fridge for a couple extra hours but I would wrap it again if it is going to be in there any longer.
