According to Catholic law and rules, is postponing of the Rite of Acceptance OK?

It appears that the difference between the usage in English speaking countries of "Chatechumenate", is the same as the Czech phrase "preparation for Baptism". I note that the Catechism of the Catholic Church says
1247 Since the beginning of the Church, adult Baptism is the common practice where the proclamation of the Gospel is still new. The catechumenate (preparation for Baptism) therefore occupies an important place. This initiation into Christian faith and life should dispose the catechumen to receive the gift of God in Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist.
So, I would say the answer to your question about a about a liturgical rule delaying baptism is a modified "yes". The need for an adult candidate for Baptism to be properly prepared for the Sacrament, and understand what it means to him, and requires from him, in most cases necessitates a delay to permit that to occur. But it also appears from the Catechism that there is an expectation that the delay be as short as possible, and I understand that it can be waived in some circumstances, for example, in the case of a person who is very near to death who has not been, and desires to be baptized.
