I would also check in online. If it says it is going to pull two e-certs, then check in. If not, go to an agent to check in and make sure she only pulls two. Be prepared with an adequate excuse why you are flying so far out of the way, but all check in agents have been familiar with the O&D distance rule.
OLCI is going to ASK for 6 coupons, I'm pretty sure.
My experience is that OLCI
always calculates each segment individually, no matter when the u/g's cleared. BUT, when I check my e-summary a day or 2 later, I find that the CORRECT number were pulled.
YMMV.
