According to the manual, the fuel light comes on at between 4.5 to 5.5 litres.

If you think of the standard 1.5 litre coke bottles then there is still quite a bit in there.
The most that I have driven with the light on is about 30 miles, but I wouldn't recommend it

Regarding your car, you've probably got another 30 miles before the engine quits but I wouldn't recommend driving it like that as there could be all sorts of crud sucked up into the fuel lines.

As for filling the car up, yes you certainly can fill up even more after the pump has first cut out.
I suspect it is related to the design of the fuel neck and it's piping.
I have been able to squeeze another 6 odd pounds worth of fuel into the tank after fuel cut out but that is on a diesel so fuel prices will be different on a petrol.
