Can this routing be optimized further?

I've managed to eek out 60482 BIS Miles == 90723 EQP == 132578 RDM from the following routing...(provided I can book the first two flights on an AA codeshare and sign up for a Plat Challenge) and I was wondering if this is as optimized as an ex-JNB DONE5 can get, or is there more scope to squeeze out some more miles?


JNB-LHR-MCT-LHR-LAX-DFW-ANC-DFW-LAX-JFK-HKG-BOM-HKG-DEL-NRT-SYD-JNB

Also, I'm guessing the best way to set this up is to call the AA RTW desk (to ensure I get AA Codeshares wherever possible, especially the first two flights) and ticket through an agent either in Canada (Gala Travels comes to mind) or South Africa (Mindpearl still operational?).

Cheers
