I don't think there is an 8 segment limit per se, but they have been more assiduous in applying the rule that says the journey should be 'there and back again' rather than any old random selection of flights.
I think there is also a (larger, 16\20?) limit to the number of segments on any single ticket as well.
So whatever OP does they would need multiple bookings to achieve it, even with cash.
There are also limits to what combination of flights can be booked on a single ticket. This greatly increased the complexity of the problem if you actually want to break down every possible set of potential flights into the smallest set of bookable chunks. I would probably start by trying to solve the problem with all one way flights. That will be hard enough.
