i glue the ribs when at the neck block the rib diemension is 10mm so at the end i will have less ribs.

what to do?

Make the next ribs wider to make up for the narrow ones. Do not twist the ribs to fit - they must meet at the edges without force or the shape of the body will distort and may make the face too wide or too narrow.

I may not be getting the picture of your predicament, but it is quite normal and acceptable to have the outside ribs be substantially wider than the others. I think that is what Richard is suggesting.--Hank
