Example #4 is explaining what prepositions are used in relation to short periods of time, such as a single day or the weekend period (often Saturday and Sunday).

Example #5 is explaining the use of the preposition "in" when referencing longer periods of time (periods longer than those identified in Example #4).

The author could have simply used "long," but chose instead to continue with the context started in Example #4.
