If I take the first line I believe it breaks down to:
YOW to either YYZ or YVR using ONLY AC then
YYZ or YVR to SFO or LAX on AC or SQ** then
SFO or LAX to SEL or HKG on SQ only then
SEL or HKG to SIN on SQ only then
SIN to AKL on SQ or MI
Is this correct?
Yes, please see also

Any flight marketed by AC or SQ would satisfy that part of the Rule.

If I put the same request in using NH as the airline I get the following:

This suggests that NH can only be used within the MPM limit which is not possible. Is this a correct interpretation?
Neither NH, nor OZ publish any Fares for YOW-AKL.
What you have retrieved (above) is actually a YY Fare:
