sure:

def changeMaterial():
   if O.iter % 1050 != 1000: return # do nothing at wrong iterations
   ...

def changeMaterialBack():
   if O.iter % 1050 != 0: return # do nothing at wrong iterations
   ...

O.engines = [
   ...
   PyRunner(iterPeriod=1,command="changeMaterial()", # iterPeriod is 1, but
the function itself determine if something needs to be done
   PyRunner(iterPeriod=1,command="changeMaterialBack()", # iterPeriod is 1,
but the function itself determine if something needs to be done
   ...
]

instead for loop you can use while loop:

while not someStopCondition():
   O.run(1000,True)
   changeMaterial()
   O.run(50,True)
   changeMaterialBack()
