I see your point and understand the problem now.
Thinking a bit more about it I realize that consistency check
here should be more sophisticated.
It should not allow:
  - seg1 - length-based, seg2 - proto-based, seg3 - payload
  - seg1 - proto-based, seg2 - legnth-based, seg3 - proto-based, seg4 - 
payload
I.e. no protocol-based split after length-based.
But should allow:
  - seg1 - proto-based, seg2 - legnth-based, seg3 - payload
I.e. length based split after protocol-based.

Taking the last point above into account, proto_hdr in the last
segment should be 0 like in length-based split (not
RTE_PTYPE_ALL_MASK).

It is an interesting question how to request:
  - seg1 - ETH, seg2 - IPv4, seg3 - UDP, seg4 - payload
Should we really repeat ETH in seg2->proto_hdr and
seg3->proto_hdr header and IPv4 in seg3->proto_hdr again?
I tend to say no since when packet comes to seg2 it already
has no ETH header.

If so, how to handle configuration when ETH is repeat in seg2?
For example,
   - seg1 ETH+IPv4+UDP
   - seg2 ETH+IPv6+UDP
   - seg2 0
Should we deny it or should we define behaviour like.
If a packet does not match segX proto_hdr, the segment is
skipped and segX+1 considered.
Of course, not all drivers/HW supports it. If so, such
configuration should be just discarded by the driver itself.
