Anyone with NFL rules knowledge, I need some help.
I am a little confused as to when to start the clock after a penalty using NFL rules. Does the clock ALWAYS start on the RFP (except last 2 minutes of 1st half and last 5 minutes of 2nd half), or does what occcured during the down have an impact on when to start the clock.

Yes, rule 4-3-d-note states "If the game clock was stopped for a foul by either team (whether penalty is acc or decl) it will be started when the ball is declared RFP; except when the foul occured after the 2 min warning of the 1st half, or the lat 5 minutes of 2nd half, in which case it starts on the snap."
That is a rule I like as well.

How interesting that this is exactly the Canadian timing rule. (Except that instead of 2 and 5, we use 3 and 3.)
