 From taskset(1) (note: --cpu-list is same as -c):

           --cpu-list 0-10:2
                       is  processors  #0, #2, #4, #6, #8 and #10. The
suffix ":N" specifies stride in the range, for
                       example 0-10:3 is interpreted as 0,3,6,9 list.

I don't think recursing can help in any way here...

I've not found anything about the /64 of the comment, though...
