How much longer than 2 weeks will it take given the sudden drop in miners?

It depends on how long ago the previous retarget is and the current hashrate. The retarget is based on blocks, so if the retarget was 1008 blocks ago, but hashrate dropped by 50%, then it'll take 2 weeks until the next retarget.

There's a chart here with the current estimates: https://fork.lol/pow/retarget
