It's a bit complicated, some say, but try this:

Just make the plates bigger until they fit your body. The blow-up drawing from Robinson is really great, I don't have a link for it tough, maybe someone else? I have built two segs using those drawings and they have come out just perfect 8) .
Don't forget to twist the collar plates (lengthwise), otherwise the seg won't close properly.

And they shouldn't!
Nearly every segmentata plate of any particular type that's been found is slightly longer, wider, shorter, thicker, thinner than the others of that type.
There's no hard rule regarding dimensions.. think of the plate shapes as themes... Adjust their dimensions to fit your body.. Maintain a sense of proportionality
For example: on guys with long torsos I do not add a ninth torso plate .. I'll make eight torso plates slightly wider.
