If you set the timer to 2 minutes initially (120 * 1000) then after event b set the value to 4 minutes and then loop.

loop
event a
timer1.interval = 120 * 1000
event b
timer1.interval = 240 * 1000
end loop

I haven't tried it but that should do the trick

By the way, the above code goes in the timer event function.

You can always use a variable and increase it each second.

and have a select case:
Example :

'Timer1 with interval 1000
Static mySecond as long
mySecond = mySecond +1
Select case mySecond

Case 120

Case 240

Case '...

End Select
