You can control start and stop times of a video with
--start-time <seconds> and --stop-time <seconds>
You can learn about these options with 
vlc -H --advanced

To let vlc quit you can use the playlist item
vlc:quit

Playing the first ten seconds of a video and then quitting looks like
vlc -I rc --stop-time 10 VIDEO vlc:quit
