Yes, but your 2nd point isn't relevant since the time span of interest doesn't
include the end of February. As you say, the answer is either 203 or 210 days,
which can be determined by the day of the week on which April 1 falls.

If April 1 is a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, DST is in effect for 203 days,
otherwise 210. So to answer your specific question, with the year (i.e. 2010
-- not a full date), in A1

=IF(WEEKDAY(DATE(A1,4,1),2)<4,203,210)

or

=203+7*(WEEKDAY(DATE(A1,4,1),2)3)

PS: I happened to choose April 1 as the date to check, but if you know the day
of the week for March 1, you can calculate the day of the week for any date
later in that year.
