Answer 1

Crontab help gives you the order of time values

To define the time you can provide concrete values for minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon), and day of week (dow) or use '*'

You did not specify any fixed day, so I'll put sample data for you.

This cron will run every 1st and 15th at midnight

0 0 1,15 * * /script.php 2

This other every 1st,10th and 20th at midnight

0 0 1,10,20 * * /script.php 3
