The only way to do that using a 2-4-1 coupon is:

PHL-LHR-CPT
EBB-LHR(stop)
LHR-FRA-LHR (paid ticket)
LHR-PHL
Ahhh...so it's not really about the 2-for-1 in particular but simply that you're better aligned with Star Alliance in general since FRA is your real desired stopover, not LHR. That makes sense...
