What interested me was what happened if you broke such a shape, not a line, but a shape
it is not clear to me in your example which route you took...
handrawn, yes, i probably thought I had explained it all (to myself at least).

I took a Shape and with the Shape Tool, selected all the nodes then broke them.
As individual lines, i then applied a Line width, brush and Stroke to each (or all).
Finally, I converted Lines to Shapes.
