For paid tickets, the rules regarding stopovers are specified in the fare rules for the relevant fare. (You probably won't find the fare rules via Google, but you can find them through KVS or a similar tool, or through the Korean Air booking engine.

For cheap tickets, you may find that no stopovers are allowed at all. For full-fare tickets, you can probably have unlimited stopovers for free. For mid-price tickets, there may be a fee per stopover (eg: $50 or $100) and restrictions on how many stopovers you can have, and where.

For paid tickets, this would again be specified in the fare rules, and would normally be set by the overall 'maximum stay' requirement of the ticket.

It seems that Award tickets are valid for one year, so I would guess that stopovers can also be for up to one year (as long as all other travel is completed within that year as well) - but the webpage mentioned above does not seem to address this point in detail.
