I doubt that any aspect of old paper tickets has any relevance now.
I would assume that they will define a ticket as any booking with one ticket number. Sadly, unless they make an exception for RTWs, they may well be subject to the 75K maximum.
Another question related to RTWs after AA switches to revenue-based RDMs - when will the RDMs post to your account: after the first flight (doubtful), after each flight (how will they allocate the cost), or after the last flight which could be 12 months later?
Can we assume that any RTW booked (or started?) before the switch will continue to earn RDMs under the old miles-based system?
