Hi Konrad,

A combination of `org-agenda-start-day' and `org-agenda-span' should do.

See the example from the manual:

,----
| From the command line you may also use
|      emacs -f org-batch-store-agenda-views -kill
|    or, if you need to modify some parameters(4)
|      emacs -eval '(org-batch-store-agenda-views                      \
|                    org-agenda-span month                             \
|                    org-agenda-start-day "2007-11-01"                 \
|                    org-agenda-include-diary nil                      \
|                    org-agenda-files (quote ("~/org/project.org")))'  \
|            -kill
|    which will create the agenda views restricted to the file
| `~/org/project.org', without diary entries and with a 30-day extent.
