Array path with a dynamic block

I created a dynamic block for a din rail with holes. The issue I'm having, the holes will remain in sight when I reduce the length of the din rail.

I tried using array action but that seems to add an extra hole after the length of the din rail.

 

Looking for help, please.  I attached the drawing

Recreate the arraypath, but first, shorten the line used for the path such that it starts where you want the array to start.  Draw in a new line to patch up the gap left from moving the start point of the line/path.

 

The objects are arrayed based on their relationship to the beginning of the object used as the array's path.

Another option would be to draw in a new line and use it just for the path of the array.  Set that line to be a construction line so it will only be visible in the block editor.

 

Yet another option, just use an array action with the current linear parameter.  Simple. Cleaner.
