However, waiting until then means that my FIRST segment will have been available for booking for 4-5 months, and likely will have no economy availability.
This is a common problem. What I did is just book the first few segments, and a couple of "maybe" ones later on. After a couple of months, I reticketed the later portions. I will probably reticket the later ones *again* next month. It's not easy, but at least as a Plat it doesn't cost me anything more than mailing the tickets in.
