  Our own @Jason_S created this bent ribbon cable custom feature which seems similar enough to what you are attempting. Check it out and add to your toolbar to give it a try:

  This is a 20 conductor ribbon cable
  

  It’s adjustable from .428 inches wide to 1.428 inches wide

  To do this, you only need adjust the very first item in the features list which is #r1

  You can set this from .06 to .2

  Once you adjust #r1, everything else will change accordingly

  Maybe later I’ll look into getting the conductors a little closer together
