You can tweek the length by screwing/unscrewing the line around either the screw or pencil (I prefer the line around the screw to just be looped, that way it doesn't have a very small change in length as it wraps around).
The more rings you add, just cut a new line that much longer and remark the line.
I hope this helps. Sometimes I run into a wild shape that will screw with me a little bit, and I work on something else while I think about it. Next thing you know it becomes very simple.

Basically the same spinning medallions on the ceiling, you just need a fixed center point that everything runs off.
Most the stuff I do, is done on site, and I have extensive notes on past ceilings i've done for re-creation.
While great for former projects, as I expand my line, all my pieces to teh puzzle change as well.
I have a friend of mine getting me a copy of a computer program he uses for designing graphics which suposewdly will do it all for me.
But I always like having a pen and paper back up just in case.
