Or you could say, the sunnah fasting of Shawwal begins the day after Eid al-Fitr, from the 2nd to the 7th of Shawwal. However, there is no prohibition if someone wants to do it outside of that date, as long as it is still within the month of Shawwal.
You can also do it randomly or not necessarily in sequence. For Muslims who encounter obstacles during the month of Ramadan that prevent them from fasting, it is recommended to replace the Ramadan fast in the month of Shawwal.
