I'm pretty sure that's not possible with a single timer.Even with two timers I'm not sure, offhand, whether you can synchronized them to your requirements.

(...After some time working on another project). Thank you for your replies. I did look at the ''Timer Synchronization'', but unfortunately, this talks about using one timer to trigger another, something that I could see how to do it.... here we want one channel to trigger another from the same timer. My feeling is that this cannot be done. I just need to convince my hardware engineer who designed it that way ;)

it is not possible to start second pulse ''exactly'' when the first pulse ends but the SHIFT can be minimized with some custom code. have a look at RM0008 reference manual > Timer Synchronization (article 13.3.15 - page 296)

hope it helps. regards.
