While uploading it reported sending 6 segments.
But I'm pretty sure I collected more then 6 new minimap tiles after my last upload.
No, segment is a separate map. As in, when you use CTRL+A the map you see is a single segment. If you go into a cave you will see a different map, which is a different segment. Entering caves from 2 separate distant (like at least 4 tiles away) entrances will produce 2 different segments. And when viewing those maps you will not be able to scroll from one to another. But as soon as you link those maps by discovering a tile which exists in both segments, those will be linked into a single segment.
So going back to your question - 6 segments sent might simply mean 1 segment from overworld and 5 segments from caves you randomly entered. Or maybe you teleported using vortex - this would create a separate segment until you link it to another segment. Or maybe you spawned more characters in the wild - each of them would create a new segment, unless they spawn in a place you had previously discovered
