Hi, Span doesn't talk about a length of time only. Generally speaking, it can also indicate the range of something or the width of something from one side to the other. Anyway, here is the correct version of your sentence: She looked at me at least ten times over a span of two minutes.

This is my take on "span" which usually is typically used in larger contexts rather than short duration as tused in this link:

Two people left a manufacturing company over a 3-month span (missing image)

It's correct to say "I was sick off work 3 times in a two week span."?
