If Atlantis lands at Edwards and takes around 7 days to ferry back to Florida will it be able to launch again in time for December or will it be delayed?

There's no problem with the timeline for Atlantis' next launch from a ferry trip.

Perhaps she landed at both, Runway 22 at Edwards (from Space) and 33 at Kennedy (ferry back, I guess technically not a landing).
May be wrong but paved runways at Edwards are 04/22 and 06/24. 33 is unpaved, so if it was a paved runway she landed on, then it had to be 22.
I do think it’s funny that the KSC Shuttle Launch Archive says 22 and the Nasa Mission Archive says 33.
Edit:
http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Gallery/Photo/STS/Small/EC91-0176-1.jpgNote the dirt the crew are standing on and the ruts the shuttle made in the dirt. So unless the shuttle went off the end of the runway to, it looks like a dirt runway(33).

"Houston, we're in work with page 3-14 single APU pre-start." Good point to sync (any second now)
