using Tikz to create a maze

Question

I created this figure with microsoft powerpoint but I'd like to make a similar one using latex because I am writing my document in latex.

I already asked how I can make similar maze structure but in the response it is hard to remove some part of periphery to keep the red region without removing the whole circle. It would be even better structure if the extra light blue space between 2,3,4,5,7 steps will be removed and only the corresponding cells and middle region remain. I appreciate if someone suggest how I can modify the previous answer to get this image or with mentioned changes.
Thanks

I let the author of the previous answer modify his figure because I didn't follow the same way to build this figure.
As I didn't quite understand everything you want, here is a first approach.

I use nodes, 3 in the form of a circle, 3 in the form of a pentagon. The latter are used to place the text at the top of these pentagons.
The radii of the circles are set, by modifying these parameters, everything is calculated automatically.
Not having recognized the font you used, I didn't write the text.
If you have any questions, I'm listening.

Another option. In this case, outer segments are drawn with arcs. If you don't want the border, they could be drawn with just an arc with the correct line width.
As a first solution all angles are defined by hand, but it's not too difficult to define them automatically.
documentclass[margin=3mm, tikz]{standalone}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{shapes.geometric, intersections, decorations.text}
begin{document}

begin{tikzpicture}
    node [circle, minimum size=6cm, draw, draw= blue!20!black,fill=blue!20] (a) {} ;
    node [draw,minimum size=4cm,inner sep=0pt,regular polygon,regular polygon sides=5,shape border rotate=180, align=center, fill=blue!80] (b) {Start 1};
    foreach i [evaluate=i as j using 30+i] in {39,111,183,255,327}{
    draw[fill=cyan] (i:3) arc (i:j:3)--++(j:1) arc(j:i:4)--cycle;
    draw[fill=red] (i:4) arc (i:j:4)--++(j:1) arc(j:i:5)--cycle;
    }
    foreach i [count=ni] in {54,126,...,342}{
        node[rotate=i-90] at (i:3.5) {ni};
        node[rotate=i-90] at (i:4.5) {ni};
    }
