1:58 = two to two
(But almost all people these days will say "one fifty-eight.")
2:02 = two OH two (NOT "two two")
Also = two after two
In this case, since there are so many twos, people would probably say "one fifty-eight to two oh two." But it is possible to say "two to two to two oh two."

从1点58分到2点零2分
From two to two to two past two.
From two before two until two after two.
The second one is a lot clearer.

2 minutes to/before 2 → 1.58
2 minutes after 2 → 2.02
2 minutes before to till 2 minutes after 2 → 1.58 to 2.02
