FlightConnections.com lists flight times rounded off to the nearest 5 minutes. Limiting oneself to connections listed on this website as having a flight time of 2h00m or less (as of December 2017), one can construct the following 17-segment itinerary from London to Tokyo, via Shanghai:
It also appears to be possible to make it to Sydney in 27 segments. Proceed to Chengdu as above, then:
Finally, London–Cape Town can be done in 15 segments. Proceed to Belgrade as above, and then take the following flights:
Given the inefficiency of the route I found through Mozambique, there may be a route to Cape Town with fewer segments via western Africa rather than eastern Africa.
All of these itineraries are presented with the caveat that I have not verified the flight times with the airlines in question; indeed, I am not 100% convinced that Flightconnections.com is handling the time zones correctly for some of the flights in Africa.
