In my example, CAI, my starting point, is in the same continent as LHR. Therefore aren't three stops in London disallowed?
The key to understanding this is that for the purposes of the xONEx rules, a "stopover" means a gap of >24 hours between flights. In your routing, if you are just transiting LHR, I.e. connecting to the next flight within 24hours of arriving at LHR, then this constitutes a "transit" and not a "stopover".
As MM does not hande dates/times of your flights, it does not know if you are intending transit or stopover at each location.
MM will help you determine the optimal routing, but it has some limitations - e.g. this stopover/transit one, no checking if seats are available on any specific flights, no checking whether a service operates on the days/seasons you are planning. All of these are better done in the next stage of your planning, I.e.by selecting flights and dates in the online OW tool.
