Is it possible to make short stairs?

Hi, I'm trying to make stairs that are 2 meters on one side and about 4-5 meters on the other. When I make stairs in 2D they always end up too long and I can't seem to make them short as I want. It is also not possible to remove/delete what I do not want to include (if I make a staircase that is too long).

I can change the stairs manually so the steps are longer on one side and shorter on the other, but I wonder if it can be done automatically (se picture)?

You can hide the structure if you want to ...

It looks to me that what you want is a circular stair with the centre being where all of the treads will intersect.

Then adjust the boundaries of the curved stair to make them straight.
