This wording is concise and does away with zones completely.
The two permitted in Asia still has the ambiguity of the precedence of the "or" particularly with relation of a transit without stopover between Southwest Pacific and North America. Nor is the implication dealt with that either Asia or Africa must be included (ie sold as continents) if transiting from Europe to SWP.

Try
Two permitted in Asia when one is a transfer without stopover or when one is on a direct single plane service between the Southwest Pacific and Europe/Middle East.

And even that may not be sufficient.

Happy wandering
