Calling all you helpful oneworlders - semi planed 2 DONE4

OK so I have tentatively planned to DONE4s (the second may become a AONE4). I want people to look at it and figure out if maybe some of the flights could be through flight or other idea to get some more segments.

Part 1

CAI-LHR
LHR-JNB
JNB-NBO (will buy a visit africa or individual tix to SEZ)
NBO-JIB
JIB-NBO
NBO-JNB (would like to go to Madagascar and/or Mauritius)
JNB-SYD (may buy a visit Australia to go to NZ)
SYD-NOU
NOU-SYD
SYD-CNS (will fly to POM and not stay in CNS)
CNS-SYD
SYD-JFK (or LAX but it seems like more miles this way)
JFK-DFW
DFW-ANC
ANC-DFW
DFW-JFK
JFK-SFO
SFO-LAX
LAX-LHR
LHR-CAI

Part 2

CAI-LHR
LHR-HKG
HKG-CMB
CMB-BKK (will buy a visit Asia to perhaps go to India, Indonesia, and other SEA places)
BKK-HKG
HKG-JFK
JFK-SJU
SJU-PTP (will fly AF to CAY)
PTP-SJU
SJU-JFK
JFK-SFO (will buy ow ticket to LAX)
LAX-SCL
SCL-IPC
IPC-SCL (will buy visit SA pass)
SCL-GIG
GIG-SCL
SCL-LAX (will buy one way to SFO)
SFO-LAX
LAX-LHR
LHR-CAI

OK this needs a lot of work and the whole trip is going to be about 9 months. The second RTW I would like to stop and stay in the US for a few days both before and after South America.

I would also like to visit DXB but have to squeeze two more segments somewhere.

Is there better places that I should book the DONE4s and use the visit passes for other routes. I really have not figured out all the places I’ll be going to.

Any ideas with routing to maximize?

Thank you so much in advance and you guys really are a helpful group.
