Set up a channel (directory?) for "show A, intro". Don't show channel, random episodes, say channel 1
Set up a channel (Directory?) for "Show A, Bumpers". Don't show channel, random episodes, say channel 2
Now on the channel you want to create, say channel 4, your "Show A" channel, select your show, Don't play channel, play in order, unwatched shows, etc.
Interweave channel 1, setting it's min and max both to 1
Interweave channel 2, setting it's min and max both to 3
As far as how to get this sequence to play on another channel at a certain time, Maybe schedule this channel to play on your main channel at 8:00, and set the number of episodes to either 2 or 4, I am not sure if the count would include the short duration videos.
Maybe give something like this a try, unless you have already.

Thanks. Yeah, I haven't tried anything like this yet. I wanted to pick some other peoples brains before I spent too much time trying to interleave a bunch of separate channels (and also because interleaving is something I always end up easily confused by. I'd like to be able to choose the number of episodes that interleave each time as well [is this something that can be done and I am just not aware of how?]), only to find out that there is a more simple, elegant solution.
