You need to fly for the sake of miles and not for where you might want to actually visit . Here's a little itinerary using just 5 continents (think it's legal per OWE) which nets 78k base miles. FC available on all but 9,000 miles.

Almost legal. You have one segment too many in Asia and North America:

-FREE- FLT SEGS WITHIN EACH CONTINENT ARE LIMITED AS FOLLOWS:
AFRICA 4
ASIA 4
NORTH AMERICA 6
SOUTH AMERICA 4
SOUTHWEST PACIFIC 4
EUROPE/MIDDLE EAST* 4

you can't go to both DXB and SVO from LON:

NO MORE THAN 2 FREE MAY BE BETWEEN THE UK AND ALGERIA/ ARMENIA/ AZERBAIJAN/ BAHRAIN/ BULGARIA/ CYPRUS/ EGYPT/ GEORGIA/ GREECE/ IRAN/ ISRAEL/ JORDAN/ KUWAIT/ LEBANON/ MACEDONIA/ MALTA/ MOROCCO/ OMAN/ FUNCHAL, PORTUGAL/ QATAR/ ROMANIA/ RUSSIA/ SAUDIA ARABIA/ SYRIA/ TUNISIA/ UNITED ARAB EMIRATES/ UKRAINE/ YUGOSLAVIA

you can't do SYD-PER-SYD:

WITHIN AUSTRALIA - 1 NONSTOP OR SINGLE PLANE FLIGHT PERMITTED BETWEEN THE FOLLOWING POINTS:
BNE/CNS/SYD-PER
MEL/SYD-DRW

and you can't do LHR-CPT-LHR:

1 INTERCONTINENTAL DEPARTURE AND 1 INTERCONTINENTAL ARRIVAL PERMITTED IN EACH CONTINENT EXCEPT AS FOLLOWS. (no relevant exceptions)

However, with some modifications you can still easily make 67k status miles on a single RTW.
