How shall we structure our timeline where the development happens for 1 month and validation takes another 1 week.

PI 1

Sprint 1.1 (1 month)

      VS 1.1.1 (1 week)

Or is there a better approach to it?

If validation happens in another sprint, are you actually spinting?

A sprint is a fixed timebox wherein a part of the Product Backlog is developed into a potentially shippable product increment. Would you really ship an increment if it hasn't been validated?

In Scrum work must be planned and delivered to release quality in Sprints of one month or less. That’s the timeline.

It’s more likely to be the way your teams are organized which needs restructuring, if they are to apply Scrum and deliver better value.
