I'm not aware of any stopover limit with the Oneworld Explorer. The one stop/two transit rule applies, IIRC, to AA's "Oneworld"
award (now called the "Explorer" award, to make matters less/more confusing.) The only restriction that applies in the case of the OWE is that you can't fly the same segment twice, and also the rules regarding transiting the point of origin, etc.
