I am not sure exactly what you mean.  Would an enhancement of
`texinfo-show-structure' to enable an outline minor mode or folding
do what you want?

For example, you can run a Texinfo outline mode using this regexp:

(setq outline-regexp
      (concat
       "@major\\|"
       "@chapte\\|"
       "@chaphe\\|"
       "@unnumb\\|"
       "@append\\|"
       "@section\\|"
       "@unnumbe\\|"
       "@appendi\\|"
       "@appendi\\|"
       "@heading\\|"
       "@subsecti\\|"
       "@unnumber\\|"
       "@appendix\\|"
       "@subheadi\\|"
       "@subsubsect\\|"
       "@unnumbered\\|"
       "@appendixsu\\|"
       "@subsubhead"))

but the end of a segment is the beginning of the next heading, so the
node and comment lines that preceed the next heading line are included
in the previous segment.

Currently you can run `texinfo-show-structure', but it does not work
well with Outline mode.  Would a combination do the job for you?
