Apparently it takes some time for my suggestion to get through to the
mailing list, so I send you a direct answer:

Isn't it easier to use arctime and the specify A and B as lengths
instead of points? For example:

  A := 1cm;
  B := 1cm;
  draw subpath (arctime A of c, arctime (arclength c) - B of c) of c;

The code is not tested.
 
Regards,

Alle spørgsmål er lige dumme. 
Og spørgsmålet "Kan ænder flyve?" er ikke dumt.
