If you end up wearing the lenses for the same total number of hours over
the 28 day period you don't really gain any advantage with your proposed
system.
If you only want to wear lenses for 2 days a week then you're probably
better off with daily disposables - assuming you aren't sleeping in them
on the Saturday night.
The worry with leaving lenses in the case is that the disinfecting
solution tends to go a little 'stale'. This is why I always suggest that
my 1-2day/week patients wear daily disposables, as they get plenty of
oxygen on the other 5-6 days.

I was just using the twice a week as an example. I wear my contacts
every day. But if I did wear them just twice a week would my proposed
plan work. Thanks.
