You are correct. A scheduled search needs a history before Splunk can set an auto window.

The way I read it -

Let's say the Period (P) is 5 minutes, Runtime (R) is 2 minutes, then Window (W) would be 5 - 2 = 3.
Meaning, anytime within these 3 minutes, can be used by the scheduler to start the search.

I guess R is derived from pervious runs.
