Is it possible to control the distance of points (along a line) to be narrow and then spread out the further it goes?

I thought it's easy but I just can't get it right....  What I am trying to do actually is to copy a box along a line, from one end (big) to another (small) but that the same time boxes are right next to each other, as image attached.  I tried the simple copy sop but I only can make box scaling the way I wanted but not the distance, further apart.  So I wonder if there is way to control the distance of points along a line and I will copy box onto those points, then control the distance of points to adjust the position between the boxes....  Is it possible?

Actually, never mind, the duplicate sop does exactly what you're complaining. 

I'll come up with an actual way, just a sec

A little recursive for-eaching. I did the distance by eye, but you can calculate the offset with an expression if necessary

Thanks for the example file, vtrvtr!!  

This is exactly what I was trying to do and never thought of using for-each to do this.
