I'm not sure if this is possible in vanilla or not (I don't have it open in front of me), but I have done this Boom before. The action you want is one that will lower a floor relative to a ceiling height (so something like "Lower Floor to Lowest Ceiling"). If vanilla has an action like that, and I think it does, then it should be possible.
Now in order for this to work, you have to create some dummy sectors outside of the playing area. You create a separate sector for each sector that makes up your stairs. Next you need to draw a sector next to each dummy sector; this will represent the "lowest ceiling" and tell how low the stair needs to lower. So if you have 4 stairs and they need to lower into a set of 16px tall stairs, you'd set your ceiling heights to something like -16px, -32px, -48px, -64px (just as an example starting with a floor height of 0px).
Does that make any sense? I could throw together a quick test map for you if my terrible explanation doesn't help :P
