It does not seem right to me that DayRange be a subclass of Range :
typically, Range is a class and DayRange is the instance,
but DayRange may ALSO be a class (in which case Range is a metaclass)

This is absolutely possible in RDF,
you just have to declare that Range is a subclass of class
(and that is IS also a class, as you did - both things are different !)
