That depends upon your goal.

If your goal is to have this package/program rerun on a schedule on all
computers in the target collection, edit the ad and change the mandatory time
to be recurring, like every 3 days at 1am.

If your goal is to have this package/program rerun once on all computers in
the target collection, add a 2nd mandatory start time.

If your goal is to have just 1 computer rerun the advertisement 2 possible
choices are:
1) use a 3rd-party utility, like Roger Zanders' Client Center. you look at
1 computer with that tool, Advertisements, list them, right-click and rerun
the 1 advertisement.
2) ensure the advertisement has the check box for "allow users to run this
advertisement regardless of assignments", once the client has picked up this
changed policy (wait 15 min or so if you had to chane it), then look in
control Panel, Run Advertised Programs, and re-run the advertisement from the
presented list.
