Conditional Highlighting multiple cells

Question

I've created a schedule for specific actions performed. There are over 200 actions and when I use one, it needs to be "unavailable" for the following 3 entries. If I can, I want to check the box on that cell and have it auto highlight that cell and the following three cells after so I can black it out until it's "available" again. Is there a way to do this?
EDIT: Also, if there is a way to auto check those 3 subsequent cells, I'm good with that too.

Answer 1

Like quinn's use of OR!
AppleScript is good at conditional highlighting of ranges.  For example I get this when running the script below. (The actual table is formatted as checkboxes but shows here as TRUE and FALSE).

Copy the script, paste into AppleScript Editor, click once in the table (this is important or the script won't know which table you mean), and click the green triangle run button. 
This works with Numbers 3.  Numbers 2 would require changes in the script. Change orange to whatever you want.

The script:
property firstCheckCol : 2
property firstDataRow : 2
tell application "Numbers"
  set t to front document's active sheet's first table whose selection range's class is range
  set vv to t's rows's cells's value -- place values in "list of lists"
  set numCols to count vv's item 1
  repeat with r from firstDataRow to count vv
  repeat with c from 3 to numCols
  tell vv's item r
  try
  if its item (my max(c - 1, firstCheckCol)) ¬
  or its item (my max(c - 2, firstCheckCol)) ¬
  or its item (my max(c - 3, firstCheckCol)) ¬
  is true then
  set t's row r's cell c's background color to "orange"
  end if
  end try
  end tell
  end repeat
  end repeat
end tell
on max(x, y)
  if x > y then return x
  return y
end max
