What I was told by a 1K agent a few months ago, booking my JFK-TPE award ticket:

1. Travel via Atlantic is permitted.
2. The amount required is the same as via Pacific.
3. However, if you go out via Atlantic, you must return via Atlantic. Crossing two different oceans will make the award a RTW award and incur the much higher charge.

YMMV.
