...UVF-LGW,LHR-OSL to
...UVF-xMIA-LHR-OSL
But both use 4 segments so swings and roundabouts. Was trying to find a way to go LGW, somewhere, OSL...to get an extra trip somewhere, but OSL has very limited direct flights

After London will be the end of the RTW essentially, saving final OSL for a second trip so probably we will prefer direct to London at that point, being weary and worn out and all
Don't suppose I could get your wisdom on this too?

You'd still have a stopover in Europe available after London, so just go from Gatwick to Rome or Barcelona or some other place served from LGW, then route via Helsinki back to Oslo, e.g. OSL-xHEL-BKK,KUL-NRT-MNL-SYD,CNS-xSYD-AKL-LAX-MIA-UVF-LGW-FCO-xHEL-OSL
If the online tool will take your money, I'd go with that. There are too many newbies at the AA RTW desk for my liking these days.
