How a split fare on a direct flight will credit
This isn't really a question, but an experience. UA323 is PHL-DEN-YVR. I was originally booked on UA323 PHL-DEN in G and then a different flight from DEN-Canada. Due to irrops, I was rebooked in DEN onto UA323 DEN-YVR in Y.
The general rule for direct flights is that the mileage credit we receive doesn't take into account how many stops there are (so UA323 PHL-DEN-YVR would credit as though it were only PHL-YVR). When you have a split fare, as in my case (UA 323 PHL-DEN G, UA 323 DEN-YVR Y), it credits segment-by-segment. The more you know

I once flew BOS-ORD-SEA on a single flight number and hit IRROPS in ORD. I ended up getting credit for both BOS-SEA and ORD-SEA. So to me, it sounds like you got unlucky 
There are waaay too many variables at play to determine how flights will credit with any kind of reliability during invol rebookings.

I'm especially unlucky since I was rebooked onto AC B class but stood by for an earlier flight and it credited as AC G class
