IBKR recurring investment into VWCE on IBIS2 (no fractional shares)

I’d like to set up a recurring investment on IBKR, e.g. 500 EUR per week, to buy VWCE (Vanguard FTSE All-World ETF), which I trade on IBIS2 (Xetra).

The problem is that IBIS2 does not allow fractional shares, only whole shares. Because of that, I can’t find a way to create a recurring order that says something like “buy 5 shares every week”. The recurring investment feature seems to require specifying an amount, not a number of shares.

Is there any way on IBKR to set a recurring order for a fixed number of shares, otherwise automate regular purchases of VWCE on IBIS2 without fractional shares?

If not, what do you do?
