Hello!
Just wanted to comment on two things from my experience - btw I too find that all the guys here on the OW forum are great.

I once tried to book a LONE4 starting with a IB sector. Fuel fines were as high as with BA, if not higher. This was with the online tool, don't know if a IB ticket office will return lower YQs. You should try to have LA as first carrier and the YQ will drop to zero (maybe IB flights ARN-MAD carry the LA codeshare).
ARN (AA) BA LHR AA LAX AA ORD AA ANC AA DFW AA SFO AA JFK CX HKG CX SIN JL NRT JL SIN QF SYD QF LHR BA MCT BA LHR BA ARN (around 57K mi.)
In this case I'd start with ARN BA LHR BA MCT
AA LHR AA LAX to have the AA code, and the bonus miles, on the longer MCT-LHR leg instead of the shorter ARN-LHR one.
I wish you a great journey!
Take care
