I would like to extend a 0.5m USB-C 3.1 cable with a female to male 2m USB-C 3.1 cable. Do I lose data transfer speed if I do this? If yes, can I somehow quantify the loss of speed?

A good 2 meter cable should be fine for the speeds concerned. I commonly use this length of cable (for USB and other) without issue.
Make sure the cable is top quality. Cable quality and terminations are important in maintaining signal quality .
I have a cheap 10 foot (3+ meters) cable (poorly made and poor materials) that did not work well
