I need advice on Parametric Brick Wall application on Cone surface.

I have watched this tutorial on how to make a parametric brick wall and I am now trying to apply the parametric brick wall on a cone surface. Here's what  I am trying to achieve.

The issue I have been facing is that towards the top of the cone, the bricks get too crowded as a result of the contour curve diameter becoming smaller.

I tried to break down the contour assembly into parts and assort different brick number for each contour, but then I had issues with the bond not being uniform.

I believe that the solution would be to link the number of bricks per contour with the height of the cone, so that the greater the contour height the scarcer the bricks. However, I am missing the factor/graph curve that would accurately describe the relationship between relative height and gap between bricks, so that the bond is uniform.

I would greatly appreciate your advice on this matter. Thank you for taking the time to read through my enquiry.
