Really good advice... simpler is better, most of the times. Anyway, in case you really want your rather complicated schedule, I'd create that either per script, or even don't use the internal scheduling, but rather let a cron job start the jobs. You'd need the week number and decide if the week is an even or odd one, (beware at the years's end...) and the week day, so you can't do this with cron directly. But calling a script each day, which does the necessary calculation, would be possible.
