surface transportation as a segment?

hi, I got confused about the segment-counting things.. hope some of you can answer a quick question which can definitely helps me a lot...

When i was planning the itin, i thought it allowed 4 flight segments and open jaw overland segment was not counted.

SCL-EZE (South American 1)
EZE-AEP (overland)
AEP-FTE (South American 2)
FTE-SCL (overland)
SCL-IPC (South American 3)
IPC-SCL (South American 4)

But I read from ONEWORLD website: "You can fly up to 20 flight segments on your trip. Travel between two points by surface transportation will count as one flight segment."

Does it mean that my above itin actually translates to 6 segments which are not allowed?
