What is the general rule for saying, for example, "2 hours later"?

As fefe wrote, you add the portion of time + 後 or you can write 後 + the portion of time.
二時間後: 2 hours later (it is then read にじかんご)
後二時間: 2 hours "left" (it is here read あとにじかん)
一ヶ月後
一年後
etc
二週間後 （～～後（あと）or（ご））
Just substitute ~~ with any unit of time.
Example:
四年後
