AWS CloudWatch Trigger at Start Time Repeating Till End Time

I have a lambda function that needs to get triggers on Saturdays 2pm, 2:10pm, 2:20pm, 2:30pm... 4pm

I know CloudWatch Events can trigger lambda functions at a certain time. However, I am unsure a single CloudWatch Event can trigger at the times I want. Is there any way to do this without having to create 12 CloudWatch Events to trigger the same lambda?

CW uses crone expressions for scheduling. cron can do something like this (list of values for repetition using ,) check here. Though don't know if CW has full support for cron or not. - Marcin

The CW event schedule expression would be cron(0/10 14-16 ? * SAT *)

Runs every 10th minute on Saturdays between 2PM and 3:50PM UTC. Detailed explanation can be found here.
