I made an example with just two input curves:

- divide the first curve

- calculate the closest Point on the second curve

- create a line in between these pairs

- use the tangent vector to extrude that line into a surface

- rotate the extrusion direction with a graph mapper

The graph mapper needs a sequence of numbers which you can retrieve from the Division Parameters of the first curve. You Need to reparametrize the curve, so you get values from O to 1.

You can remap the numbers coming out of the graph mapper to match your desired Rotation of the surfaces. I chose a new domain from 0° to 90°.

Hope this helps
