I suggested it because we write software for people who run multiple 
experiments with "rest periods" between the data collection sessions.  They 
seem to use the word span to specify the approximate duration of the series 
of tests.  "These experiments were conducted over a span of 3 weeks."  Then 
again, Americans are notorious for abuse of the language, but around 
University of Arizona's Neural Systems, Memory & Aging Lab it would 
certainly be understood.
