Are you allowed to open jaw at your "stop over"? If not, how would you use the 2 permitted open jaws other than returning to a different airport on the way home?

I get how this example works, where there is 2 open jaws and 1 stop over:

Lax - hnd
hnd - inc
tpe - sfo

can anyone give me an example of how else to "legally" make use of that second open jaw? Thanks!
