This is possible in FME and actually not that difficult. For the first part, the dynamic segmentation, you'll want to use a Snipper transformer. With this you can select how much of the existing line you want to duplicate, using distance, percentage or a few other options.
Next, if you use a HorizontalAngleCalculator custom transformer from the FME Hub, you can calculate the angle of your line. This will be needed in the next transformer, the Offsetter. Make sure you add 90 degrees to the angle to offset the line perpendicular to the first line. See the images for details. I hope this helps.

Ah that's perfect thank you! I can't believe I never searched for "Offset" in the transformers
