It depends on the number of words. @feyfayer explained it well.

@feyfayer

It depends on the segment. You can learn more in the NSSA guide for segmenters - https://nssacademy.weebly.com/segmenting-guide.html#extensionsgaps

But in short, if you can make a 1 sec “buffer” after the sentence ends and there is enough space after (min. 0.6 secs), you do so. If not, you connect it to the next segment. Your segments also shouldn’t be too short ( >1 sec). You want it to be readable. These are the standard rules, but some people do deviate from it sometimes (f.e. a 0.9 sec segment with the words “Yes” or “No” in it or a slightly longer buffer).

I will repeat what @feyfayer said. Here are two rules from the NSSA :

• The segmenters always add 1 second extension to each segment created. This extension begins when the speaker has finished.
• The minimum length of a segment is 1 second.

Sometimes, the segmenters can’t respect those rules when the characters speak fast. If you think a segment is too short, it must be because the segmenter had no choice. Fortunately, this rarely happens.
