I knew that it could be done that way.

But I did it my way! =)

Since I'm lazy when it comes to laborious math calculations,
I first defined the important parameters and then let the
macros (which I already had) do the calculations.

And btw:
How would you for instance calculate the dimensions of the
bounded_by shapes if you where to model shapes like the one
I posted in TorusClutter?

For that TorusCluster it was just:

bounded_by { torus { MajR, MinR1 + MinR2 } }
for the "first" level and
bounded_by { torus { MajR, MinR1 + MinR2 + MinR3 } }
for the "second" level
