Help with an array function within a dynamic block

Hello all, I'm seeking some assistance with the attached block

 

what I'm trying to achieve is to make the overall size of the entire item stretchable. (a dim )

when I stretch the item, I need the u-shaped items (B) (green) to array to fill in the space so there is no open space.

I normally have more time to poke at this issue and learn on my own but I don't at the moment. 

thanks, in advanced for any support and help

I remade the Arraypath and used the red line just below the green U-shaped items as the "path".  This red line stretches as the canopy stretches, and so, the array follows it and makes more of the green U-shaped items.

I KEEP ENDING UP WITH A GAP BETWEEN THE ARRAY AND THE LAST FULL U-SHAPED ITEM, ANY IDEAS ON THIS? MY SPACING SEEMS CORRECT IN THE ARRAY, SHOULD I JUST MAKE THE LAST ONE A PART OF THE ARRAY?

Try setting the array spacing to exactly 6.  It was 6.0025 in the initial block and I just copied it as it was. Then adjust the end piece to match.
