This hasn't been answered yet, neither is it a common request.
FWIW, I removed such scheduling info (2x, 3x...) because it scared me to hell
when it went over 99 days delay.
But, to answer you, no, I don't think it's doable in the current system.
Though, you could get more or less the same functionality by clocking time,
rescheduling your task for the available Sunday, and clock again. On that day,
you would see that you're clocking hours 8 to 15 of your work.
Best regards,
Seb
