Facing a losing battle here as Currently still have seats for family of 3 for all segments in coach (sorry as only have enough miles for 3 in coach). But any more delays could see the at least one or more seats taken on any of the segments which will kill the entire trip.

Never tried it before but if I only booked the segments that work then call United to try and book the rest, how do I keep the portions I book online on hold until I get a rep that could figure it out? And will there still be the phone in booking fee for 3 people? PM me if you have any ideas.
I suggest you to book following this strategy,
First book a RT as JFK-NRT//NRT-TPE//ICN-JFK
Then call back and change one flight and make it to JFK-NRT//KIX-TPE//ICN-JFK

I'm not sure why you must do ITM-TPE because there's no direct flight between these two airports, KIX is not that hard to reach from Osaka downtown. A simple nonstop KIX-TPE may remove a lot of issues and uncertainties.
