Preface: I am not a Global Explorer Expert.
The fares on the website already include the 10% discount so you won't get it twice.
I think the only airline flying FUK-BKK is TG which isn't allowed on the ticket.
Alternatively, have you thought about a DONE5? Yes, PPT doesn't work but you can fly to IPC and buy a separate ticket which isn't that expensive. And this fly can easily be upgraded into business.
NRT-PER-MEL-AKL-SCL-IPC-SCL-JFK-SXM-JFK-DFW-NAS-LHR-ZRH-LHR-BKK-NRT
This gets you to everywhere but PPT and comes out Y25k more expensive. Of course you could contemplate to use some segments for longer flights like MCT instead of ZRH.
And yes, AA will ticket an itinerary as long as there are some AA flights in there.
