margeDocs only limits the merging of "already saved segments" as result of calling addDocument(). If there are added documents not yet "saved" but rather still buffered in memory (by IndexWriter), once their number exceeds maxBufferedDocs they are "saved", but as a single merged segment. So you could set maxBufferedDocs to 2 (that's the minimal value) and maxMergedDocs to 1 and add N documents to the index, - that would likely result in N/2 segments. You could probably force N segments by closing the index after each add and reopen it before the next add. Note that while such settings might be interesting for learning purposes, that would have an unpleasant performance impact... Last, calling optimize(), no matter what above settings are, a single segment is created.
