A segment is a flight with a unique flight number.
If you're flying PHL-CLT-ATL on with PHL-CLT on flight US123 and CLT-ATL on flight US456, then that is two segments. If both flights are under the same flight number (US123, PHL-CLT, continuing service to ATL also as US123) it counts as just one segment.
As a rule of thumb: one take-off + one landing = 1 segment. So PHL-ATL = 1 segment, PHL-CLT-ATL = 2 segments, LGA-PHL-CLT-ATL = 3 segments and so on, as long as each flight has a unique flight number.
