You can use the modulo % operator along with the frameCount variable inside the draw() function to do something every X frames.

Here is an example program that draws little circles most frames, but draws a big circle every 60 frames:

void setup() {
  size(500, 500);
  background(0);
}

void draw() {

  ellipse(mouseX, mouseY, 10, 10);

  if (frameCount % 60 == 0) {
    ellipse(mouseX, mouseY, 50, 50);
  }
}
