need to array/move an object inside a dynamic block

Hello to all:

 

I have a challenge that I'm struggling with.  Please see the attached dwg.  I need the small blue polyline to move/array with the stretch command built into this block.

 

Also, this is a part of a much larger, more complicated block, and I need to do the previously mentioned task WITHOUT Visibility States or a block table...those parameters exist already in my Master Block and cannot be used for this specific task.

 

Description: 

 

at 24" long, non-stretched state:

-the blue pline doesn't move

 

at 48" long stretched state:

-the blue pline moves 24" to the right

 

at 96" long stretched state:

the blue pline previously moved is also arrayed once 48" over

 

at 144" long stretched state:

the blue pline previously moved is arrayed TWICE 48" over

 

Anyone have any brilliant ideas?  I've tried all sorts of lookups, move actions and array actions, and I can't get it.  Thanks in advance for any replies!

I think there are various ways it could be done, but I think this is the simplest and easiest to implement.  See screencast:
