One potential way around the segment limit is to use ledmaps to group some pixels together.
They allow you to virtually “re-wire” your LEDs so they become more convenient to handle.
For instance, in your egg prop the blossom centers could be grouped so all 5 appear together rather than in their respective blossoms.
If the LEDs in each blossom are numbered 0,1,2,3,4,5 where 0 is top of a petal and 5 is the center,
Then the physical LED order would be BL1[0,1,2,3,4,5]->BL2[6,7,8,9,10,11] ->…->BL5[24,25,26,27,28,29]
You can create an led map that changes that order so that petals appear in blossoms, but all the centers are separate, such as:
{"map":[0,1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,14,15,16,18,19,20,21,22,24,25,26,27,28,5,11,17,23,29]}
All the petals the appear as: BL1[0,1,2,3,4]->BL2[5,6,7,8,9] ->…->BL5[20,21,22,23,24] and 5 centers appear at 25,26,27,28,29 which could be combined into a single segment for all the centers. You can apply a flashing or coloured effect independent of your other segments
This is just one example, but with a little thought I’m sure you can come up with some possibilities.
