The landing is the same width as the stairs, both ways. The stairs never actually turn any amount. You just build them where you want them to stay.

That would not be a landing.

As a practical matter, these (3 rise winders) are no longer code approved (assuming you're using the old ubc or the current ibc).

Build (and support) the landing first. Then just build the stairs as normal.
