Two points re counting:
1. I think that only 7, not 10, of your segments are “real” first class (i.e., on a 3 cabin plane) namely: LHR-DFW on BA, YVR-JFK on CX, JFK-HKG on CX, HKG-PEK on KA, NRT-SIN on JL, SIN-HKG on CX (#713 only), and HKG-LHR on BA. The following segments will earn first class TP on BA but are not “real” first class: DFW-ANC and ANC-DFW. DFW-YVR will involve the same on-plane experience (not great) but is only considered business class.
2. Incidentally, by my count you have 21 segments because the two passes through LON involve the surface segments of LHR-LGW
