I had wanted to fly HKG-BNE-SYD-WLG-(AKL)-LAX-MIA-DFW-HNL-NRT-HKG. But when I tried to book it that way the AA RTW agent told me I must include South American in an itinerary > 26,000 miles. The rules seem to indicate if you want to include South America you have to use the 29,000 mile product, but I don't see that the reverse is required. Please advise
Now routed HKG-SYD-WLG-(AKL)-SCL-EZE-MIA-DFW-HNL-NRT-HKG
The Circle Pacific fare is based on distance. It is only sold in 3 distance bands.
xCIR22, which can not exceed 22,000 miles;
xCIR26, which can not exceed 26,000 miles, and;
xCIR29SA, which can not exceed 29,000 miles and must include South America.

Great Circle Mapper shows HKG-BNE-SYD-WLG-AKL-LAX-MIA-DFW-HNL-NRT-HKG as 25,869 miles, but a 1-2% difference between gcmap and the airline distances is not unusual.
