Version 3 - 25 June 2014

Used only two GH components to divide each flap axis by ten and create a "plane" at each point, perpendicular to the axes. One more GH component ('SubSet') sifted out the planes at the end of each axis:

A bit more effort to intersect those planes with the original flap surfaces to produce nine intermediate foil sections per flap, then rotate them "appropriately":

Then more effort to loft them with the end curves - most precise yet:

anim #1, anim #2, anim #3, anim #4, anim #5, anim #6

Skipping the surface lofting, here are animations showing plus/minus 25 degrees at five degree increments, for three "graph mapper" conditions:
