Spiral with polyline segments

Hi, I have a polyline with “x” amount of segments and I want to rotate this segments so I can create a rectangular spiral. Same as the picture. Thanks.

The vectors before Mass Addiction are the “incremental” of the path, like the G91 in G-Code, doing the mass addiction give a result that, interpreted as points, are the absolute positioning (G90)…

Thanks Ricardo!, I undertand your method, is similar to Joseph’s

Given a list of ‘sorted segment lengths’ and a ReMap component, it can look like this:
