A couple weeks will not be a problem! Even a couple months should not harm your gear. I’d leave a couple puffs of air in the BCD. As long as the gear bag is not being kept in a hot place, or the bag is not at the bottom of a stack of other packed items, you should be ok!

The only problems could be if wetsuits are folded and compressed too tightly for too long. They could hold a crease which would hurt the ability to insulate along the crease.
