In this version, the entrance / exit to the cathedral would be more practical (G) - making sense. divisions (H, I, J) being parallel to each other, A to G spaces are also less awkward.
As a result of this study, I can categorize the spaces around the cathedral into 6 types.
0° (H)(I)(J) can be ideal for cubic spaces
12° (E) can be ideal for circulation: lifts + stairs + escalator
13° (F)
14° (A)(B)(G)
18° (C)(D)
26° (K)(L)(M)(N)(O)(P)(Q) short but wider spaces
It is important to keep in mind these divisions are not exactly same size and some are equal to each other for the next steps, but the decisions taken for 12°, 13°, 14°, 18° in terms of the space making does not really matter, the only consideration worth to pay attention can be the 26° ones' width.
Taking the 14° slice, I divide the space in plan into 8m x 8m + 16m x16m rooms which is the same dimensions for the structural grid of the cathedral.

The perpendicular divisions can align or be completely different in every slice.
