two different ways to approach this, for session or arrangement view:
in session, this is pretty easy to do in the increments which appear in the global quantization settings. (..., 1 bar, 2 bars, 4 bars, 8 bars)
when you hit a clip slot to start recording, it will "punch-in" at the next quantize point. if you hit the same clip slot button while this recording is in progress, you can switch to playback automatically when the quantize length is reached.
for example:
set quantize to 4 bars
hit slot button at some time before the "1" of bar 5,9,13,17,etc
clip starts recording on the "1" of bar 5(etc)
hit slot button again while recording is in progress
when the transport reaches 9(etc), the recording will end and playback will begin
there may be some preference settings which might effect this behavior, so maybe have a look at things like 'auto-loop samples' etc
in the arrangement view, you could do this with the punch-in and punch-out features. and you could do any length, even down to 1/16 note increments.
