The cluster glass mode has nothing to do with the wipers. It is the sensitivity to the auto-tinting glass (Optitron or something?) on the instrument cluster, regarding the perceived "glare" from the light sensors on the car as well as the brightness of the back lighting.
I leave mine on Auto-Norm and don't think much of it. The different modes don't have any staggering affects, especially after I had my car tinted. The tint on the rear window obscures the light from the sensor under the brake light making it less sensitive to outside lighting changes.

There is nothing there regarding the wipers. Sun Shade, Parking Sensors, AFS, Instrument Panel Lighting/Tinting, Trip Controls, Mirror Controls (Spray, Fold, Adjust), and latch releases. I don't know what the blank spot is for. APSS?

Actually to adjust the sensitivity and not the interval you have to go to the "Drop down box" and there is a button you press that brings up a screen on the information display under the speedometer and it says something like "rain sensitivity".
I need to go to the car so I can be more specific.

APSSS switch is in the center console along with the ECT and Power suspension switches. In my car that empty spot has a switch, but I can't remember what it is. I can check when I get home Thursday night, if I remember!
