If a war has finished, should the victor still be able to keep taking land off the loser? What’s the duration of that right?

Practically? In 2026? As long as you can keep it. We're back to deciding borders through force versus treaty. Which, based on the rhetoric around Gaza, is ambiguously worse.
Largely yes. That is a risk of starting a war.
If an aggressor is defeated, the victor gets to make demands and set terms for ending hostilities.
And after that? How long can they keep taking?
