Plan on refinishing the whole wall.

Depends on how well one contains the damage.

I've seen a fast set texture ( 20 Min.) cover a ceiling patch near
the size of the OP. Taped up clear plastic to avoid over spray
(ceiling tent).

By the time the hopper is cleaned (do it fast), the ceiling is ready
for paint. Think containment.

I'm thinking that anyone who is asking the questions being asked is
not at a level of skill and knowledge that going to be able to match
the texture.

If he wants an invisible repair, he's looking at the whole wall, not a
patch.
