I'm not sure about the bonus applying to the whole segment. I recently completed the Plat Challenge with a BOS-LAX segment. I got the base miles (2611), my Gold bonus (653), and then an entry that said "Platinum Challenge - G Points" (980).

2,611 (base miles)
+ 653 (25% gold bonus)
+ 980 (100% PLT - 25% GLD)/2 = 37.5% Challenge bonus
------------------------
4,244 miles [62.5% cumulative bonus]
A standard PLT or GLD qualification is different than a challenge qualification though.
