Thanks. On looking at it again, I think I'm just making life difficult for myself and ditching the surface sectors I should be able to just do:

LHR-LAX-LAS(stop)-SFO
and
SFO-PDX(stop)-FRA-LHR

as paid fare routings seem to permit LAX-LAS-SFO on a single fare. If the ICC will agree is another matter of course.......
