To maintain the spacing around a curve, geometry requires that the radii increase as the path moves away from the center: as the outside of the bend has a larger radius than the inside, a path further outside must have a correspondingly larger radius. Carlos's method, which I have used here, is easy and precise, but it can be accomplished with native Illustrator tools such as the Corner Widgets by selecting and adjusting each path.
