Surface segments cost me dearly

I am midway through the following RTW AONE on an AA ticket orignally issued January 2008

JNB-LHR-JFK-NRT-KIX-HKG-BOM-HKG-JMB

I left KIX by another carrier and will be back in NRT in 2 weeks.

I already made a reservation with AA for the following

NRT-HKG-BOM-HKG-JNB and will go ahead and reticket next week


This complete routing past and future

JNB-LHR-JFK-NRT/HMD-KIX surface NRT-HKG-BOM-HKG-JNB

I think I will have to pay an additional $500 because the surface segment counts as a fifth Asian segment and I now realise I should have spent $200 on a single HMD-KIX . Am I correct that I will pay $500 or does the surface segment only count toward the total limit
