Married segment logic is a problem, but it's more than that which makes looking segment by segment likely a waste of time.
Routing rules. Example: DTW-SFO may be available as a saver award. SFO-ATL-DAB may be available as a saver award. But I can promise you that DTW-SFO-ATL-DAB will not price as a single award.
Segment maximums. US-49 to Europe can price as a single award with no more than four segments total across DL and partner carriers. This is a detail that appears in relevant award fare rules. Nome-Anchorage-Seattle-MSP-Boston-Amsterdam-Moscow-Kiev is going to have a fare break!
At last check one still needs to call for Czech, Air Europa, and Tarom but that is a very small subset of relevant TATL and intra-Europe capacity. With 5-week search windows and delta.com displaying awards with operators Delta, Air France, KLM, Alitalia, Aeroflot, and Virgin Atlantic, the OP can check 15 destinations in five minutes work.
