I know some vets recommend 30 days just to be safe.  After two weeks, I would say there is still a chance.  In another two weeks or so, his hormones will probably come down enough that he will stop trying to mount her.

Keep them separate until she is spayed or he stops "tomming" her.

A male cat can remain fertile up to 49 days after neutering, though doubt most last that long, but it's still possible. So your going to have to separate them to be sure she doesn't get impregnated. Spaying her, even if she is pregnant at that early stage, is still possible also as long as doing so won't upset you.

Good for you!
  Once they are both not having hormone surges, you will be surprised how much more loving they are.  Also, you will have a ringside seat for the kitty wrestling matches.
