seriously dude, if you have an electronics store around, you want too use a 555 timer going into a CD4017, which, for every 10 pulses of the 555, - gives you one per each of its 10 output pins.
meaning you can tie the output pins together in any way that suits, for eg 1,2,3 on 4,5 off, 6,7,8 on 9,10 off
then you can take 1,2,3 and 6,7,8 and use each set too drive a transistor for each side of your split primary.
bread and butter stuff. i still use it all the time for heaps of applications. very versitile
