A new paper was just posted to the arXiv that develops a polynomial algorithm for some cases of "2-concentric parallel regular polygons." Here are Figs. 1(a) and 5: <img src="https://i.sstatic.net/IvD9u.png" width="300" /> <img src="https://i.sstatic.net/y7GTZ.png" width="500" /> > Dhar, Anubhav, Soumita Hait, and Sudeshna Kolay. "Efficient Algorithms for Euclidean Steiner Minimal Tree on Near-Convex Terminal Sets." [arXiv:2307.00254](https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.00254) (2023). They also obtain results for "$f(n)$-almost convex sets."
