Incremental Hourly

Is it possible to run an incremental hourly while setting the group to skip while the full runs i.e. let's say I want a group to run hourly from 04:00 to 23:00, is it possible to set up a schedule so that a the incremental group runs from 04:00 to 23:00 but the full then is given a backup window between 00:00 and 03:00 i.e. the incrementals only run hourly for 19 hours and skip the last 5?

Not really ?
Have a look at NW 7.5 and the "probe" objects.
This may be the closest realisation of your intention.

If you can tolerate som 'group already running' there is another solution:
1/ Configure one group, always incremental, runned each hour fromm 00:00 on.
2/ With crontab/at.... generate that same group at 23:55 with the parameter: -l full

The group will run a full save, while it's running, no other group with the same group name can start.

Advantage: as the full save is finished, the incremental save will start next hour.
