An n-m-step prism is inscribed within an according variant of an n-duoprism, in fact it cycles a subset of its vertices in the n×n grid by means of an inclined line of slope n/m. It then uses the convex hull of that subset of points.

Let y = x(7,2) = sin(2π/7)/sin(π/7) = 1.801938 and z = x(7,3) = sin(3π/7)/sin(π/7) = 2.246980 then the edge sizes, as given below, would be a = sqrt(A2+y2B2), b = sqrt(y2A2+z2B2), and c = sqrt(z2A2+B2).
