Challenge:
I would like to construct a grid of rectangles, with different step sizes.
What do I have:
List A: a list of numbers, representing the step size to the next grid line in X-direction
List B: a list of numbers, representing the step size to the next grid line in Y-direction
I do know there is the Rectangular grid command, however, If I put multiple numbers in the step size Sx/Sy it starts over for each input (instead of summing the step sizes).

Any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Hi Joseph,
Thank you very much 
It does the trick ánd with very few commands
However, there is still 1 challenge to go.
I noticed, that the surfaces items are not sorted in a ‘logic’ way, but more in a random way present in the list (possibly it has to do with the split surface command)
Do you have any suggestion how I could rearrange the surface items in the list in such a way that they have an ascending order from left to right?

Thank you again very much
Sorting geometry is a common problem, there are many tricks to accomplish it. See white group for one:

Ahh thank you once again! It works perfectly for the X,Y plane.
The only thing I must admit, I don’t fully understand the part (deconstruct point -->rearrange x,y,z --> point --> sort point).
Because when I try to do the same for a surface in the XZ plane, or XY itdoesnot seem to work.
Yes, I did try several combinations of the deconstruct point and rearrange but nothing seems to work.
Do you have any suggestions how-come?
The solution has to be very very close, but I cant find it 
.
Thanks again

This looks idiotic but Grasshopper is quirky that way. It’s a VERY IMPORTANT DETAIL… I had to round off the centroids (I used two decimal places) to get Sort Points to behave nicely. See purple groups.
