You might want to use nested generator instead.

Hi
I can`t open File due to Max version (I`m still using Max2018) but here is the file that can help you.
I have exposed some parameters so you can set Size by the Mid_Segment or by the total size of `Composed` Segments. You can also set X Fixed Size if you are plan to use those on some curved spline.
Please, do not hesitate to ask for more  ;)
Best Regards.

Hi

I have modified Your style to include both composed segments (red) and nested generators (green) methods.

Hope You can analyze it and learn from attached example.
Feel free to ask any questions You have.

1 more question?

is it also possible that when I fill in a dimension it gets bigger to 1 side? I've been working on my railclone skills all week and haven't gotten around to the arithmetic node yet

One possible solution is to add 3 Transform operators with different Y alignment and connect them to a Selector Operator (1-3).
