Actually 2 days ago when I called to book a 8-segment USA to Africa ticket, I was told by the agent that there's no limits on how many legs I could book. Yesterday when I called to make the N-Asia to Africa reservation, the first agent wouldn't allow me to hold the itinerary, so I hanged up without even booking any flights. The 2nd agent last night allowed me to hold for 3 days, but with 8 segments only.
All these calls were made after midnight EST, if it makes any difference...

I cut it down to 9 segments with less layovers, but it sill didn't work. Finally the 8-segment itinerary worked.
So now the 8-segment rule seems to apply to the "N. Asia-Africa" awards as well...
