I'm sorry to report defeat. I keep trying to see what you are explaining but there is no aha moment. (Also you mention that "pentagons having the exact same size" are the rules, and I thought I emphasised that they aren't supposed to be, the two symmetrical ones equal yes, but all they are all imperfect pentagons, however flat is the only rule, and those vertices I strive to keep at those perfect coordinates.)
When starting from (dodecahedral) scratch I realise I can scale uniform the pentagons and maintain their flatness, but that gets me nowhere in regards to maintaining my coords.
Your instructions seem to me to leap to a point I don't understand how you get to. The illustration seems to indicate a scale shrink by x-axis that would bend the connecting pentagons. And I can't parse the terminology, "focus in", I can't relate to any actionable command in Wings.
It seems you get to where I want to go, I just don't understand how you get there.
