There is no exact method to run the script every two weeks.

For alternatively you can use logic in the external application(script) to decide whether run the script or not. Then you can schedule the Cron to run in every week.

ex: 0 21 * * 4

Above Cron will run in every Thursday of week at 9 PM.

Please refer the below for more info. https://www.systutorials.com/39652/how-to-run-a-cron-job-every-two-weeks-months-days/

From the script level you can decide whether to run the script or not
