This can easily be scripted by placing something akin to the following in your timers script.

SetTimerOption("mytimername", "minute", new_time_in_minutes)

Or to be more precise:

SetTimerOption("mytimername", "minute", math.random(8, 13))

These bits of code assume Lua scripting.

I know this may sound like an odd request, but is there a way to put some variance in the timer? Like every 10 minutes grunts and rolls over in his bunk, then the next time it happens is 13 minutes then the next time 8 min? The original timer would be set for 10 min. but it has some variance to it.
