Yes, I get that. But it is my understanding that the word 'surah' means specifically a chapter of the Quran, and nothing else. Since the Quran is inimitable (same caveat as above) you can't add to it, you can't fit anything into it. I suspect that an attempt to do so would be looked upon as a heresy by Muslims.

But the challenge is if a human can make a chapter like that of a chapter of Quran.
And I think what I wrote is similar to a chapter of Quran (suratal Kaffiroon to be exact).
