I see function below is not correct, so I do not know how you got it to work:

;; (defun pmchart selectr nc)
;;   "TODO."
;;   (seq-mapn
;;      (lambda (p q)
;;        (message "p: %S" p)
;;        (list q (append (make-list p "xxxxx")
;;                (make-list (- nc 1 p) ""))))
;;        selectr
;;        descr)

As it should be formatted this way:

(defun pmchart (selectr nc)
  "TODO."
  (seq-mapn
     (lambda (p q)
       (message "p: %S" p)
       (list q (append (make-list p "xxxxx")
               (make-list (- nc 1 p) ""))))
       selectr
       descr))

The function below is wrong, you are providing 3 arguments, but expecting 2:

> (pmchart '("Peter" "Paul") [3 2] 5)

So I do not know how you make it work. Please provide first workable function:

gives the list

;; '(("Peter" ("xxxxx" "xxxxx" "xxxxx" "")) 
;;   ("Paul" ("xxxxx" "xxxxx" "" "")))

;; But I want to adapt it to get this

;; '(("Peter" "xxxxx" "xxxxx" "xxxxx" "") 
;;   ("Paul" "xxxxx" "xxxxx" "" ""))

"Peter" shall be in the (list
