Jenkins schedule builds one after another

I need to run 5 Jenkins build starting from midnight. For each build execution time may be different.

Currently, I'm scheduling the builds periodically in the pipeline.

Schedule: 0 0,2,4,6,8 * 10 *

each build takes up to 1:15 hrs some may take less than an hour if some failures occur. I need to run builds after the previous build is completed. How can I achieve this?

Below works everytime and is easy too.

pipeline {
   agent any
   triggers {
     cron 'H 0 * * *'
   }
   stages {
        stage('Test') {
          steps {
            script{
              container('tools') {
                 build job: 'path/to/job1', parameters: [string(name: 'tag', value: '123')]
                 build job: 'path/to/job2', parameters: [string(name: 'tag', value: '123')]
                 build job: 'path/to/job3', parameters: [string(name: 'tag', value: '123')]
                 build job: 'path/to/job4', parameters: [string(name: 'tag', value: '123')]
                 build job: 'path/to/job5', parameters: [string(name: 'tag', value: '123')]
             failFast: true
              }
            }
          }
        }
    }
}

Cron is set to trigger the job everyday by midnight. Once the above job runs, it starts running all the other jobs sequentially. Use the above snippet for running 5 different jobs sequentially.

If you want to run the same job 5 times, then replace those 5 lines of build jobs above to below.

     for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
        build job: 'path/to/the/job', parameters: [string(name: 'tag', value: '123')]
     }
