Sometimes one can finesse the segment limitation by using a minor point to a minor point in the routing where it is necessary to go through a hub.

Use "g-i" where the routing is actually "g-H-i".

It would be helpful to know the itin, the dates (more specific the better), and what kind of prices you've found so far.
Or are you trying to transcribe something you've found in ITA? In which case it's mainly about POS - point of sale.

http://www.globester.com/ allows up to 9 legs.
Maybe that helps...

Not sure why you want to have so many segments on one ticket... Sure it's more convenient to check the price and buy. However, it's usually more expensive than buying separately. Also, if you want to skip a segment on your trip, you may risk of losing all the remaining segments...

If you don't mind buying separate tickets but want to get an idea of the total price quickly, you could try https://www.vamo.com/flyertalk as it supports multiple destinations much better than regular OTA. You could customize a trip and get a price quickly.

It was mentioned in the forum before: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trave...arch-tool.html
