There is no way to do what you want without scripting that I can think 
of and the Next Occurrence date has to be calculated, i.e. it isn't 
stored in a table.

My approach (which you may have considered before) is to create 
scheduled transactions 60 days in advance and update the exact amount & 
date as they happen.
