I don't know if this requirement is necessary. Why do you think anything
should be controlled by the attributes in the segments?

This leads to the situation where changing attributes for one segment will
change the length of another segment. Which I think is highly unintuitive.

So what is the problem if that cannot be done? Having the space between the
segments not assigned to a segment, but just being "something else" that is
part of the memory area seems more logical to me.
