There is nothing in the rules that prevents it - therefore it is allowed.
The real issue is that the rules state 3-continent fares are not available when originating in one of the three southern hemisphere continents.
So you can fly say JNB-GRU-SCL-SYD-JNB but it seems you will be charged for 4 continents. (I tried using the online to verify what the fare would be, but I keep getting an error message when I add the JNB-GRU segment.)
