Railings: extend intermediate rails

Special railing condition here: We need to switch railing types where it meets the landing so the intermediate rails should extend past the start of the landing to match the second railing. I was thinking an angled end baluster would force the intermediates past the start of the landing but no luck. It seems the intermediate rails always go horizontal at the top of the stair it is hosted to. Any tricks? Desired condition below.

Why don't you do it as one contiguous railing?

Unfortunately the existing landing type switches to 7 intermediates while the stair only has 6. You'll notice the spacing of the 6 is consistent but the landing has an additional run near the floor. Its a strange condition that I've never seen but we need to match the existing.

So that is closer but because the stair railing direction change is aligned there is a resulting large space between the stringer and bottom rail. If the alignment of this direction change can offset the spacing of the stair intermediates starts to even out...

I'm not clear on what you're saying.  Mine was just a quick example. The spacing of the railings wouldn't change the 2 adjoining Railing Types approach. No?

Any tricks you can think of to get this?

Looks like a model in place connection for now but open to suggestions, thank you for your input
