I see... perhaps it should be filed under "wish list" to support an "arbitrary days of week" repeater style. One way might be something like "<2014-10-13 Mon +4d +3d>": First advance by 4 days, then by 3 days, then 4 again and so on.

I would call it a low priority enhancement. There might actually be some benefit to tracking consistency on the two days separately. But the fact remains, if someone needed to treat it as one task that happens on two or three arbitrary days during the week (always the same days) and it wouldn't be useful for her to split them, org-habit currently does not support this as far as I can see.
