This paper introduces a novel framework for polar codes, designed for flexible Incremental Redundancy Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (IR-HARQ). By generalizing the decoding order beyond the standard 1$\to$N sequence, we enable a capacity-aware scheduling strategy that prioritizes the decoding of reliable subblocks. The framework integrates nested parity-check polar construction and reverse bit-mapping to support continuous and arbitrary transmission lengths $E \in [N_{\min}, N_{\max}]$. Simulation results show that the proposed rateless codes match the coding gain of independently optimized fixed-rate codes across the entire range of rates and lengths. With a validated hardware implementation, this work provides a practical solution for next-generation wireless data channels.
