There is an IATA MPM for Hawaii-Europe via the Pacific only. (Obviously it is not possible to get from Hawaii to Europe without crossing at least part of the Pacific
) Last fall I was more successful in getting it to come up on EF than I am right now, but if you try HNL-ICN-MOW, you'll see it quote an MPM that's higher than the Atlantic crossing MPM that shows up at the top of the page.

I've seen DL.dumb approve routings that are over the MPM by less than 5%. However, it's not a trend that arises on every route, so I would never count on it.

Oh the funs of planning award travel with the useless delta.dumb
Considering you get four segments each way, there's no way to connect in all four of those cities. TPDs are generally not cumulative. Seems like you usually get the largest one, from what I've been able to tell.
