Filter to bring in just part of a Microsoft Project plan

When I am importing an Microsoft Project plan, Microsoft Project loads all tasks (and Milestones) of the plan. That's too much because the plan consists more than 2500 tasks.

When scheduling a recurring task which is 10 days long (for example), are the durations of the recurring tasks going to change when those tasks cross non-working weekends?
