To include multiple specific values in a cron job you separate them with commas.

For 16-17 you want 16,17 so you get:

# m |  h  | d | m | Day of week
  *  16,17  *   *   *

# All the below can include multiple values using commas
# m = minute (minute from 0 to 59)
# h = hour (hour of the day, from 0 to 23)
# d = day (day of month, from 1 to 31)
# m = month (month of the year, where 1 is January)
# dow = day of the week (0-7 where 0 and 7 are Sunday)
