ten segments of 100,000 bases ?

Does it mean "each segment has 100,000 bases"?

Context:

In addition to the genotyping studies described above, HapMap 3 also sequenced ten segments of 100,000 bases from well-characterized regions of the human genome. Unlike discovery using DNA chips -- as used in most studies to date -- direct sequencing is not biased towards more common variants, but gives a direct estimate of the frequencies of variants.
