Depends on what you do now. Maxing her affinity doesn't mean much if you go on to do Quina's, Aelinore's or Madeleine's quests. Their affinity will override Mercedes'.

Best thing you can do to try to get Mercedes now that she's left your game with maxed affinity is to lower the affinity of other NPCs, especially the ones I mentioned, also vendors and innkeeps, just in case, and NOT do the quests for Q, A and M. I don't know if that's worth it to you though.

When I want Mercedes I basically do a speedrun, since she's the only necessary NPC whose affinity I'm likely to max that way.
