LVM Logical Volume Segments

I've recently installed Arch Linux on my system, and I had to resize my logical volumes around 2/3 times as I added another SSD to my laptop and wanted to create another logical volume to store my Timeshift backups. After this process, some of my logical volumes have segments like below:

--- Logical volume ---
  LV Path                /dev/volgroup0/lv_home
  LV Name                lv_home
  VG Name                volgroup0
  LV UUID                UUID NUMBER
  LV Write Access        read/write
  LV Creation host, time archiso, DATE
  LV Status              available
  # open                 1
  LV Size                <702.21 GiB
  Current LE             179765
  Segments               3
  Allocation             inherit
  Read ahead sectors     auto
  - currently set to     256
  Block device           254:1

Is it bad to have segments in my logical volumes? If so, how can I remedy the situation? Thank you for any advice in advance!
