On a RTW booking the idea of open-jaw does not really exist (except to a certain extend for start/end of journey). Even hiking GRU-GIG is considered to be a segment. Assuming the time between arrival in GRU and departure from GIG is more than 24 hours you will waste a segment and two stopover (one for GRU, one for GIG).
