A 2.5 Gal bucket will be more than enough.
I've done this on mine.
You can pinch the hose a few inches behind with some flat, long channel-locks and re-cut the end of the hose and replace.
There will be leakage from the radiator side but it won't be that much.
The tricky part is bleeding the system once you've refilled it.
There's a procedure using the pressure relief valve.
All the air MUST be bled out otherwise you could end up dumping ALL the collant after your next hard run.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro
