need some help on dividing a curved surface

hello everyone I am new to GH (like 2 weeks), but as I need to use this thing on work, I am now stucked on a issue.

how do I divide a curved surface which is something like a external surface of a building facade, with a set of specific module size (say 500, than 1000, then 1200, then 1500, then 2500) along the axis but NOT along the surface?

at the end I hope I can feed the data to isotrim so that I can get the data the see the facade panel size.

please help~

thanks a lot

attached are the rhino file and the GH file.
in the GH you may find 2 edge I picked from the b.box, I would like to divide the face based on the position on the vertical line, which means the floor levels of a building, but the division for horizontal curve can still based on the cruve length.

I hope you can understand what I mean
