New 20 segment rule on LONE4 and reticket extra segments

I have a friend just started her LONE4.

She has purchased 2 additional segments for europe and plan to do a reissue as there are some changes to her itineary.

Questions:

1) Under the new 20 segments rules (incl land segments) does this count towards the quotas within the continent.

(ie. If you do LHR-HEL//BCN-LHR-DXB-LHR) is this permissible under the 4 free segments within europe?


2) Since she purchased an additional 2 segments, will these be able to carry forward to the new reissue

3) In terms of routing she in in LHR now and want to goto somewhere in Europe and then DXB before going to HKG.

She also have a 3 month eurorail pass, and just want to see what is the best way to utilise the 4+2 segments on her LONE4.

What are your recommendations?

Extra (paid) segments count towards the 20 limit, not continental limits.
