The FAQ states it's every 16 calendar days, but this is exactly 16 days, so if the criteria isn't 'inclusive' I may only be able to take the exam starting Sept 26.
Does anyone know for sure if these dates would work?

Dear Matthias15,
I'm happy to respond.
To be honest, I don't know the exact answer to you question, but I am going to chide you. WHY ON EARTH would you want to take the GMAT twice in a month? WHY ON EARTH would that be a desirable thing to do? The goal of the GMAT is to impress b-school adcom. If you take it once and achieve mastery, that's very impressive. If you take it once, give a mediocre performance, and then perform with mastery on the retake, that's still pretty impressive. Two mediocre performance in a row are not a very good track record.
Sixteen days is really not enough time to make substantial improvements of any kind, so it is more than a little bit likely that you will get about the same score both times. If it's a excellent score, you only need it once. If it's a mediocre score, it's not going to make a very good impression to have two back-to-back mediocre performances.
My friend, do not underestimate the GMAT. Everyone who takes the GMAT already has a college education, and many of them have bought a book or a service that provides them with high quality prep information, and yet of this extremely talented, extremely well prepared pool, only 10% every achieve more than 700. Excellence on the GMAT is no small thing, and not to be taken for granted.
Does all this make sense?
Mike

To answer your question, there should be a gap of 16 days between the two tests.
Now, moving on to the next thing. We hope that you get a good score the first time around, but if not, then having a gap of just 16 days will not solve your problems.
Moreover you can very well adjust a day or two here and there. 16 days period does not mean that you cannot take the test after the 16th day.
This is the minimum period and can very well be extended.
