JNB-LHR-DFW(STOP)-EZE(STOP)-JFK-HKG(STOP)-SYD(STOP)-LHR(STOP)-DXB(STOP)-LHR(STOP)-IST(STOP)-LHR(STOP)-NBO

I believe it is legal but I have never done this before.

Thanks

This would be legal (as an xONE6) as long as you do the Europe/Middle East segments before moving on to the Western Hemisphere, as well as not stopping-over at LHR before going on to NBO:
JNB-LHR(STOP)-DXB(STOP)-LHR(STOP)-IST(STOP)-LHR-DFW(STOP)-EZE(STOP)-JFK-HKG(STOP)-SYD(STOP)-LHR-NBO. This is almost 58500 flown miles and you could still add 4 more segments (although not in Europe, where you have used your 4).

You could also return to JNB directly from SYD, gaining another spare segment but losing 8000 miles.
