Diego,
except for the 'best done in EMC2' part this should be doable in LibreCAD in fact I already have some of these dialogs created that should have been pretty universal and could be used for your machine aswell (with some modifications).
For the creating of your language, It would be best to use python as you language of choice to generate you code file so you can be flexible,
so you have a circle object somewhere in memory, and you send this object to python which will create the lines for you in the format you need it to be.

Hi Anders,
Thank you for your answer. Your proposal seems interesting but part of the project is entirely omitted using code G. It tries to create a coding system itself. For this reason EMC2 not be used to control the machine, but rather is necessary to create a real-time software can interpret and interpolate the data sent or stored by LibreCAD. This software will calculate the instantaneous speed of each stepper motor and send them to the card that controls the motor drivers which is also designed by me.
