It certainly could. This is already very possible with iCalendar, e.g. this event here:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
PRODID:-//FastMail/1.0/EN
BEGIN:VEVENT
CREATED:20190219T071436Z
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190608
DTSTAMP:20190219T071436Z
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190603
SEQUENCE:0
SUMMARY:CalConnect Bedford
TRANSP:TRANSPARENT
UID:xxx
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

Which is an "all day event" with a duration of 5 days.
