I think my only solution is to drill holes in one canopy and just use
the one canopy.

I presume the two parts of the canopy just "telescope" one another?

This way I can get about 70cm off the worktop AND I
wont get the 2 stage ugly step. If I need to go shorter I will need
to cut down the thin metal canopy, which is specialist since its
stainless steel.

Had to cut down a Neff stainless steel one, just some tinsnips did the
job.

Don't you get an annoying rippling effect along the cut edge? I had this
on my cooker hood. Used a very good quality pair of snips. But each time I
had to move them along and start a new snip I would get a slight ripple in
the metal.

It's called deckle-edging and you pay extra for it ...
