Nope, sorry.

Repetition is the only way for something like that, unless you do something
really horrible like:

IF evaltrig("2016-03-21 *56 UNTIL 2016-08-01 omit sat sun after") == today() || \
   evaltrig("2016-09-06 *56 omit sat sun after") == today()
        SET rootpasswd today()
ENDIF

evaltrig() is available as of Remind 3.1.6.
