To report back on the info I have asked earlier:
One-way awards:
-are only valid on fully integrated airlines of the Miles and More;
-do not allow stopovers (when I asked for this among several agents, a few have said that the booking system does not allow them to split the award - whatever that means);
-changes/cancellations are permitted anytime before the start of the trip against a fee of 50 EUR, which can be waived in case of death or health problem. Taxes (both fuel and airport) can be refunded in full.
Hope this helps for your future bookings.
