Ideally you would use some sort of PWM output, where you set the on time, off time and it will run in the background until you make a change to it. At this time the Maximite doens't support a PWM output, so we need to do it with software.
I havn't tried it yet but you might be able to use the SETTICK command. Its a interrupt, meaning it will interrupt your normal program at a certain time.
I havn't tested this, its probably broken. The two timer routines at 1000 and 2000 should flip flop between eachother.
5 SETPIN 10,8 'Set as output
10 SETTICK 100,1000 'Start timer in 100ms
20 ' Normal program, do stuff
30 PRINT RND()
40 GOTO 30
1000 'On Time, 10ms
1010 SETTICK 10,2000
1020 PIN(10)=1
1030 IRETURN
2000 'Off Time, 100ms
2010 SETTICK 100,1000
2020 PIN(10)=0
2030 IRETURN
