QF redemption rates are among the world's meanest, but if you have to get rid of 2x 280k QFF points you ought to look at individual one-way redemptions too. Rather than one humungous RTW you could do 2 or 3 trips, perhaps with stopovers.
At that rate surely you'll have some other miles, *A or FB maybe, that could be pressed into service for certain sectors.
October/November is low season and you'd be sure to find 2 biz seats on any route. July/Aug on the other hand, QF planes are full of politicians and govt employees flying biz at our expense, so no more than 1 award seat at a time
