Howdy Matt,
If I were you I would setup the recurring event how you normally would. Then once it has posted go back to the edit events screen. Using the APM bar at the top which allows you to filter out stuff I would filter it down to events matching that title and within the date range you want to hide. Then you can place a checkmark next to each and bulk-delete. It’s a bit round about, but should not take too long.
Would that work for you? Is there any other related questions I could answer perchance? Cheers!
