Yes. Something akin to NYC-ATL-(somewhere in Europe)-OTP (a couple of days stopover)-DXB-(somewhere on the way to SIN)-SIN. This would be booked in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks,

There is a 4-segment limit each way on DL award tickets. They are also not likely to accept NYC-SIN via Europe. You may be able to book open-jaw for example NYC-CDG-OTP(stopover)-DXB, SIN-XXX-NYC and then use miles from other programs for a DXB-SIN one-way. OTP-DXB on RO will likely incur (modest) fuel surcharges.
