Dividing a surface in custom pattern

Hi, 

I am a newbie and trying to learn GH.

I would like to divide a surface into different widths and extrude them at different heights.

My final goal it to be able to control the pattern for eg. 1-A,B,A,C,B 2-B,A,A,A,C,B and so on (please see attached images - manually modeled in Rhino). I searched the forum but didn't find solution to my problem. David Rutten did post a definition for something similar but it used VB script. Here is the link, 

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/help-divide-surface-uneve...

I am still new to GH scripting and VB scripting is certainly not my cup of tea. I was wondering if this can be achieved without VB script and just GH? 

If someone can please help/guide me in achieving this will be great. I have attached my initial GH def but to tell you guys frankly i didn't get to far with it. 

Thanking in advance. 

Leaner, 

Dilip
