Stretched Chord - Step 5 - How to make the chords touch the pulled apart arcs again

Full Screen

Step 5 (out of 6) from my blog on How to create a Flow diagram with a circular Twist in which the Chord Diagram is now officially a circular flow diagram, but where the Chords themselves have not yet been sorted to reduce overlap.

An example based on actual data can be found here
