Each successive transformation of an edge into four edges was done by creating two new edges that are 72 degrees to the prior edge, and the lengths of the four new edges are 1/(2x(1+cosine(72))) of the prior edge.
Starting with a pentagon and using an angle of 72 degrees allows us to fill the interior with girih tiles. In the examples below I used a couple of scaling girih tiles.
Here is the girih line drawing I generated from the tiling. Yes, it has gaps.
Here are two more images following the same process.
