I am concerned about the touches in LHR/LGW
This would be an AA/BA/IB combo
The routing should be fine. You are permitted to connect through LON twice on a oneworld award.
But do you really want to go to Madrid, or are you doing so just to use a second oneworld partner to satisfy the award requirement? If the latter, consider flying LA from JFK to YYZ, and then BA from YYZ to LHR (or the reverse, if you prefer).
Also, if you would rather do an extra connection than do one of the ground transfers between LHR and LGW, consider flying AA from JFK to BDA, and then BA from BDA into LGW (or the reverse).
