The only way to tell is to keep riding it until the next spoke breaks. There is no conclusive way to predict that. If you get a second failure fairly soon, you can safely predict that the interval to the next break will be shorter yet. So you're options then will be to either retension the entire wheel with the existing spokes, or rebuild.

You could do those now, but may not need to.
