I am buying two new SATA hard drives: 1TB and 2TB.
I'd like to use the 2TB unit for backups (typical Linux directories and
files) ... with just a single file system (ext4 most likely).
Will 'mkfs' create enough inodes? Or, would it be better to, say,
split the 2TB into four 500GB file

Just a data point, this behaviour has changed;
wheezy's mke2fs(8) has this:
Be warned that it is not possible to expand the number of inodes
on a filesystem after it is created, so be careful deciding the
correct value for this parameter.
