I haven't seen one of those. I don't know what that would mean.

Ah ha: "In some cases, the length of the longest shared segment is greater than the total length of shared DNA. This is because we adjust the length of shared DNA to reflect DNA that is most likely shared from a recent ancestor."

Not that I really understand.
