Unfortunately, the tool counts land segments as same as flight segments.
The tool does not permit an itinerary with 20 flight segments and a land segment.
It also counts land segments for segment limit within a continent.

For example,
LHR-HEL-LHR-FRA//CDG-LHR
is counted as 5 segments.

Am I wrong ?
Or, tool is wrong ?
xONEx rule has changed recently ?

Anyway, this tool still has some problems.
(1) It can find FUK-xHKG-YVR connection, but can not find NRT-xHKG-YVR.
If you put NRT-HKG and HKG-YVR in separate lines, you can not specify same day connection.
(2) It can not calculate or specify extra purchased segments.
(3) DEL-ORD is treated as a transpacific flight.
If you make NRT-HKG-DEL-ORD-NRT route,
this tool says
"You can only cross the Pacific ocean 1 time(s).
You have not crossed the Atlantic ocean.
Minimum number of region [3] have not been reached."
(4) And, countless problems.
