I think you have two options here. The first one is to make your
schedule look like something like this:

  Schedule {
    Name = "EveryOtherMonth"

    Run = Full         on 1st sun jan at 00:00
    Run = Differential on 1st sun feb at 00:00
    Run = Full         on 1st sun mar at 00:00
    Run = Differential on 1st sun apr at 00:00
    Run = Full         on 1st sun may at 00:00
    Run = Differential on 1st sun jun at 00:00
    Run = Full         on 1st sun jul at 00:00
    Run = Differential on 1st sun aug at 00:00
    Run = Full         on 1st sun sep at 00:00
    Run = Differential on 1st sun oct at 00:00
    Run = Full         on 1st sun nov at 00:00
    Run = Differential on 1st sun dec at 00:00

    Run = Differential on 2nd-5th sun at 00:00
    Run = Incremental on mon-sat at 00:00
  }

The other would be to make use of the "Max Full Interval" statement for
the Job resource and omit "Full" runs in your schedule.

Yes. Though, it may depend on the order of the JobIDs, if you input them
by hand. But I don't know that for sure.
