Hi Carlos, probably the easiest way then would be to assemble your segments in a straight line by drawing one small segment and using Transform > Array > Dir to replicate that into your desired pattern.
Then once you have a bunch of straight line segments, draw another line running the entire length. Then select all the small segments (you can do 1 or 2 strategic window selections to get them all and not the long backbone line, by using the start-on-left and drag-to-right kind of window that only captures things entirely inside of it), and run Transform > Deform > Flow. Then select the long backbone line that runs the entire length of the pieces as the base curve, and your bendy curve as the target curve and that should place all your segments onto the bendy curve.
I've attached an example, in this example I've made the dashed lines slightly offset from the backbone curve just so you can see how they are configured, in your real case you'd probably want the backbone line to run right down the middle of the straight dashed ones so they will fall directly on the bendy one rather than offset to one side of it:
Hope that might make things easier for you!
