In a severely sludged engine you can actually plug multiple filters during a clean phase and rinse phase. It has to be a severely sludged engine for this to occur. If it's just dirty, then a regular filter will handle the loading over that short a duration.
If you really want to know, just remove the filter and see if it's plugged. Pour the oil back into the engine and replace the filter.
Again, if you're just "keeping it tidy", I don't think you have to worry about it. If you've got a serious condition ..just throw on another filter.

Truthfuly, unless your engine is really slugged up, 2000 miles on 1 filter is ust fine.
