Easy with the scheduler - simply setup a Sequence with your simple pattern (3/1/1/1) and then get teh Scheduler to "Repeat" the sequence 10 times.

Personally and from experience, I WOULD NOT recommend it for two reasons;
#1 Flats. In my experience unless you've got a very accurate filter wheel, the chances of it changing dust patterns between shots is high every time you move the filter position. at a minimum set your wheel to be unidirectional, helps to counteract backlash.
#2 Focus. Unless you're confident in your filters being par focal, you're going to need to adjust focus for each change, again, this might require a lengthly refocus routine unless you have a very accurate focuser able to move between focus offsets 9this becomes more important at faster f-ratios where the CFD is tiny).

There is a good reason to take the approach you outlined and that is of course that you are more likely to get even sky coverage from shot to shot but this brings me to my final piece of advice;
#3 - shoot one filter per night, with multiple targets if you've got time to kill versus multiple filters one target - that way you get consistent elevations per target per filter, at the risk of being clouded over the following night. Having said that I know people who've been shooting the same target for years at a time, building up data as they go.

If this sounds like Mono+filters is more complicated and fiddly than OSC, it's because it is - shooting with filters is really rewarding but it's a more methodical mindset than OSC.
