Polyfill: more than 1 edge loop?

Given a closed curve I'd like to fill it with a cap that has an user defined numbers of edge loops.
The PolyFill node does exactly what I need (when it's in triangle fan mode), except that it allows 1 edge loop only.

So I tried to iterate the polyfill through a “for loop”, BUT, as the image shows, the resulting edge loops are not created at equal distance from each other.
(In case anyone wants to try to fix it, I have attached the project file too)



Any advice very welcome, I'm sure there some node\parameter that I'm not aware of
cheers

use Poly Extrude Instead
- Transform Extruded Front: On
- Scale: 0,0,0
- Output Front: Off
- Divisions: however many you want

maybe Fuse afterwards to fuse tip points

what about even easier:

Polyextrude, Inset, Divisions…that's it…
