How can I write it so that it means that the workshop was held on a number of "non-consecutive" days? I can't get it right!

The workshop ran for (5) days over the course of (one month).
Although "a number of days" doesn't really imply consecutive---but for many workshops there's an advantage in the "breathing-time" between sessions so I'd go with the "over the course of" option.

"Ran over" could also mean that it lasted longer than expected... You're right in asking on account of the wording being vague.
Maybe you have already answered your own question?
"The workshop was held over a number of (non-consecutive) days."
Why wouldn't that wording work?
I would err on the side of being highly specific if it was me, listing the specific dates and maybe even the amounts of time each day if that was practical.
