Your dad's cousin is actually your 1st cousin once removed.

This chart makes it really easy to follow familial relationship from your perspective: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb6661d8dfc8c1836526d3a/7c86c5ef-d858-4f66-8d00-c6d3c34cfdc6/Family+Relationship+CHART

You're only related to the not biological kid by legal ties. You could marry that step daughter without issues.

What would she be then? Just legal ties or something else?

Your explanation is actually a bit confusing. State it again with only relevant people to the relation you want to know.

This is my attempt at it: your first cousin once removed has a husband who has a brother that has a step daughter?

You have no relation to the step daughter, not even a legal one. Your relation stops at your first cousin once removed husband who is your first cousin once removed by marriage.
