you could try something like this:

0 0 1-7,15-21 * 1

that runs your alert on Monday, at 00.00 only if the Monday has month day 1-7 or 15-21.

You could try this

5 4 1-7,15-21 * 1

However, according to crontab.guru, this would be the first and third week and all Mondays which is not what you have asked for.

Assuming the above doesn't work, you may have to go with

5 4 * * 1

And then put a check in your search to stop the report / alert returning results if the date is not in the first and third weeks.
