A centrifuge part for habitation

I'm suggesting an assymetric centrifuge ("The Expanse"-Style), mostly for WOW reasons. There already are numerous "standard" rings, (inflated and with rigid walls), so I think we can do something different (maybe even unique?) for Kerbalism.

Idea:

  • A long arm with a smaller (lighter) habitat attached which, due to the larger radius, provides higher centrifugal forces for a gravity experience just like home (approx. 0.5-1g?) for the crew habitation parts and exercise facilities.
  • A shorter arm with a much more bulkier (heavier) part to counter the higher centrifugal force of the longer part. This could be used for applications that can do with lower gravity (0.1-0.5g?) for sleeping quarters or a green house.
