Dismiss the AMM segment, it was added to protect me due to QR ban and will not count as an extra segment.
CAI-(xAMM)-xDOH-JFK-LAX-xDFW-JFK-SCL-xJFK-HKG-NRT-CMB-NRT-MEL-xNRT-MAD-JNB-DOH
thanks!
There are potentially a number of issues I see:
- The rule for a second visit to Europe/Middle East, back when your purchased your ticket (last November?), required that one of the visits be a transfer without stopover.
When Europe/Middle East is your continent of origin, then this means the first return to the continent (your NRT-MAD-JNB) must be the transit without stopover visit, in MAD; therefore it must be ...xNRT-xMAD-JNB... 
- Your proposed DONE6 is 17 segments, one more than the allowed 16 - this is because of your re-route CAI-xAMM-DOH, which was presumably originally CAI-DOH and had to be re-routed due to the Egyptian government's newish restrictions on direct flights to DOH
BUT - how many segments did your original DONE4 have?
If it was less than 16 segments, then the airline might claim that one of your unused segments was used for the extra segment at the beginning
Note that this is just my opinion, which may well be wrong - maybe an FTer with good ticketing knowledge (such as [MENTION=204888]JAXBA[/MENTION] or [MENTION=648695]Calchas[/MENTION]) can chime in
