This means the subsequent segment will have a duration of $segmentationTime seconds. When a segmentation style of "maintainCadence" is selected and a segment is truncated due to an avail, we will not reset the segmentation cadence. This means the subsequent segment will likely be truncated as well. However, all segments after that will have a duration of $segmentationTime seconds.
