No I can't. You said you were trying to fit a "broken stick" model,
which is what the "segmented" package does.  If you are not
fitting a model to data, then I have no idea as to how you might
proceed.

You have to make it much more clear what you are trying to do
before I (or anyone) can make constructive suggestions.

     cheers,
