How can I set variable increments for a rotary encoder?"

Hi guys,, I want to use a rotary encoder with a selected range (for example, from 0 to 200) with varying increments. I came across an example from Matthias Hertel's library (RotaryEncoder-LimitedRotator) that I would like to upgrade by changing the increment from a certain value, but I haven't been able to achieve that.
For example, I would like my value to increment by 0.1 between 0 and 10, then by 0.5 between 10 and 20, and then by 1 from 20 to 200.
Do you have any solutions to propose?
Below is the code that I would like to upgrade.

// This example checks the state of the rotary encoder in the loop() function.
// The current position is printed on output when changed.
// In addition to the SimplePollRotator example here the range of the rotator is limited to the range 0 - 16 and only incremental steps of 2 are realized.
// To implement this limit the boundaries are checked and eventually the current position is adjusted.
// The internal (physical) position of the rotary encoder library remains by stepping with the increment 1
// so the logical position is calculated by applying the ROTARYSTEPS factor.
