{Height <= 2/3 Cone Length | circle of radius = height
{Height > 2/3 Cone Length | circle of radius = 2*(Cone Length - Height) + 5

Example:
120 ft' cone

Creature is:

5' 5'
10' 10'
15' 15'
20' 20'

Draw a line the width the cone would be from that distance and draw a circle around it. Then you have the width of the cone.
