I fly several xONEx itineraries annually, and have for more than a decade. (I have businesses in BOS and UTH and commute between them several times per year.) I've
never had an itinerary that was fewer than 16 segments.

Sure, theoretically, but there's no One World SEA-FCO nonstop service, so your first routing isn't available on an xONEx itinerary.
