My question is, now that the pre-pre has been room temp (probably higher on the delivery truck) for 48 hrs, can I put it back in the fridge to extend the shelf life until I can work on the project this weekend?

Just make sure it's wrapped up properly so it doesn't condensate internally on defrosting If you are making the same part a few times over a longer period of time (longer than it's outlife) then you can defrost completely, cut out all the sections you need for all the parts, then separate into effectively layup kits and re-freeze the kits. Then you can defrost the kit as and when required.
