Hello David, AdWords itself imposes the limitation of six scheduling intervals per day, and the API just reflects that limitation. You can't add more than six intervals per day via the web interface either.
If at some point in the future the six scheduling interval limit is lifted on the AdWords backend then it should be trivial to change the API's behavior to allow for additional intervals.
