The outer loop is your entire delay time, (say, 10 minutes = 10,000 ms divided by the duration of the inner loop delays) and the inner loop is how often you need to check for a condition that necessitates calling some function, (maybe every 1000 ms) - so your halt times are determined by the inner loop delay. And the outer loop can be used to update a display on a less-periodic basis. The 50 day thing is not relevant.
