How to fit enneper surface into a ellipsoid?

The idea is:

1. revolve curve and make a ellipsoid 

2. create a 5 wing enneper surface 

3. fit it into the ellipsoid so that the ennepers surface outline can slice ellipsoids surface 

4. make multiple floor with Contour  and intersect all this surfaces so when i bake them i can easily delete inside remainings floor surfaces. 

P.s. - In the ghx definition that you'll find attached you'll see an old enneper definition that i used to scale manually, but the problem with it was that it always created approximated intersection that at some parts of ellipsoid surpassed the limit and on the other was just a little bit smaller than the solids contour. 

P.p.s - Why won't it make multiple contours on ellipsoid?

Thank you for your answer! I think i was not very clear so i'll post some of my previous ''experiments' :)


as you can see the wings should be curved and inside not just as contours. 

here is top view

p.s. if you need any other information please ask
