You can make the stairs shorter.
Duplicate a stairs 'FPS' file then open and delete some of the sections of the individual steps in order (say,four of the 9 sections).
I have forgoton which order they work in (top to bottom/visa versa?) so you will have to change the remaining order values of the remaining steps on far left of FPS file and the 'partmax,lastmeshmax' values.
Also you can change the 'position Z' value to bring them all back to fit against a wall when placed.
Below is an example of just 5 steps from FPSCx9.
