Yes, by creating (and submitting) a workflow package. This is basically 
a vignette wrapped in its own dedicated package (the package typically 
contains no R code).

List of existing workflow packages:

https://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/BiocViews.html#___Workflow

Workflow builds (Tuesdays and Fridays):

   https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.15/workflows-LATEST/

Timeout limit is 2h for these packages.

Cheers,

H.
