Son más de la dos de la mañana. ¡Es tarde!
Son más de la dos de la mañana. ¡Es tarde!
Does the above translate to something like, ¨It is later than 2 in the morning. It´s late!¨?

Your translation seems 'to me' to be correct, maybe....
Son las dos de la mañana. It's two the morning. The "la" should agree with dos in number. That seems straightforward.
"más de" the correct way to say more than when talking about numbers. Más que would be for non numerical comparisons. So like you say "It is later than 2 in the morning"
¡Es tarde! That's the tricky one. To say it's late, you commonly hear "hace tarde"
I think "es tarde" can simply mean "it is late", but can also could mean "it's too late" since ser is used to describe a permanent state. I think only context would let you know which use applies to this sentence.
The red that HCA mentioned is that dark brown/red color on the answer count window you see when viewing the list of questions. It changes to blue when someone answers your question. If it stays red too long you feel like everyone is intentionally ignoring your question. 
lol : )
Your translation is good, but the Spanish variant sounds a little strange - maybe it´s a regional usage. And as dennywells points out, la is incorrect. I would have said: Pasan las dos de la madrugada, ya es tarde.
I think that's right. Even if it's not, I took the red off your question.
