Methods and apparatus for encoding data associated with a page by dividing the page into segments and separately encoding the segments using extended error correction code (ECC) calculations are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for encoding data associated with a page which has a data area and an overhead area within a non-volatile memory of a memory system includes dividing at least a part of the page into at least two segments of the data, the at least two segments of the data including a first segment and a second segment, and performing ECC calculations on the first segment to encode the first segment. The method also includes performing the ECC calculations on the second segment to encode the second segment substantially separately from the first segment.
