Wow that's something for me to learn. The oldest rule I have (from BA) is dated 2005 and had the 20-segment restriction. I only started to learn all these things around 2002.
If it were possible to have 30 segments, it may mean that paper tickets were not limited to booklet of 5, but I wonder in this case how things all fit (fare calculations, etc.).
