Did I do the right thing if I took an extra contraceptive pill after diarrhoea? What to do with the fact that the next package of medicine contains one less tablet?

Hello I take the hormonal contraceptive novadien 21 + 7, yesterday I had diarrhea an hour after taking the pill and I read on the leaflet that I had to take another pill immediately from the spare blister, and I did.
But now I wonder if I acted correctly and how does the fact that when I start the second blister I will have one pill less works. I can't figure out how to behave

Diarrhoea, i.e. at least 3 stools with an excessively loose consistency within 3-4 hours of taking the contraceptive pill, may reduce its effectiveness. In this case, it is recommended to take an additional tablet of the preparation from the spare blister.

In this case, it would be best to leave the extra blister as a "reserve" to be used in situations such as diarrhoea or vomiting, and because the currently used blister should be used to start another, previously unused one.
