Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I think
`org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift' already does this. Or do you need
to change the name of the headline?
Here's an example:
(with-temp-buffer
(insert "* class
<2014-10-22 mié 13:00-15:00>")
(goto-char (point-min))
(org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift 5 "+1w")
;; ignore this
(let ((str (buffer-string)))
(set-text-properties 0 (length str) nil str) str))
=>
"* class
<2014-10-22 mié 13:00-15:00>
* class
<2014-10-29 mié 13:00-15:00>
* class
<2014-11-05 mié 13:00-15:00>
* class
<2014-11-12 mié 13:00-15:00>
* class
<2014-11-19 mié 13:00-15:00>
* class
<2014-11-26 mié 13:00-15:00>
