I think this is discussed in the FAQ on the org mode web site but, in
any case, no, you cannot do what you want. You may wish to look at
,----
| org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift is an interactive compiled Lisp
| function in ‘org.el’.
|
| (org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift N &optional SHIFT)
|
| Clone the task (subtree) at point N times.
| The clones will be inserted as siblings.
|
| In interactive use, the user will be prompted for the number of
| clones to be produced. If the entry has a timestamp, the user
| will also be prompted for a time shift, which may be a repeater
| as used in time stamps, for example ‘+3d’. To disable this,
| you can call the function with a universal prefix argument.
|
| When a valid repeater is given and the entry contains any time
| stamps, the clones will become a sequence in time, with time
| stamps in the subtree shifted for each clone produced. If SHIFT
| is nil or the empty string, time stamps will be left alone. The
| ID property of the original subtree is removed.
|
| In each clone, all the CLOCK entries will be removed. This
| prevents Org from considering that the clocked times overlap.
|
| If the original subtree did contain time stamps with a repeater,
| the following will happen:
| - the repeater will be removed in each clone
| - an additional clone will be produced, with the current, unshifted
| date(s) in the entry.
| - the original entry will be placed *after* all the clones, with
| repeater intact.
| - the start days in the repeater in the original entry will be shifted
| to past the last clone.
| In this way you can spell out a number of instances of a repeating task,
| and still retain the repeater to cover future instances of the task.
|
| As described above, N+1 clones are produced when the original
| subtree has a repeater. Setting N to 0, then, can be used to
| remove the repeater from a subtree and create a shifted clone
| with the original repeater.
