org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift is what I would use, mainly because I
want to have my calendar stay compatible with org-caldav.el.
In the past I used org-class, which might be what you refer to below.
Example:
%%(org-class 2014 9 26 2014 12 15 3 'holidays) office hour 9:30-10:30

My understanding is that you would like to extend Org’s "datey" syntax to
allow provide an end in this statement,
<2015-10-08 Thu 11:00-12:00 8+1w>
What is the syntax you have got in mind?
Thanks,
Rasmus
