Unfortunately, we don't have the separation times of the OneWeb satellites for this mission, as well as the Freget burn times. Thank you, Arianespace, for the detailed press-kits you are producing lately...

Launch scrubbed, according to the OneWeb coverage.

It was a post umbilical mast retraction and pre-ignition pad abort not a scrub. It is only a scrub if the masts haven't been released and retracted to the launch position. Only the Blok-I's mast had been released when the abort was commanded by either the ground or the onboard avionics.
This will be at a days turnaround minimum.
