  I have not understood what you want to obtain (perhaps that the JPEG image
joined to your message showed what you want to have, but I was able to see
nothing on it...).

  You obviously must know how to change the radius of the circle, as this is
a required parameter... Otherwise, you can try to play with a kind of node
connection joining two nodes, which will be the same one here. It can offer
more flexibility. See here for \ncloop.
