1). Anyone speculate why that would have been issued as a DONE4 and not a DONE3? My orig routing is a EU/ME-SWP-NA-EU/ME.
2). Would I be able to maintain DONE4 by changing to the following: CAI-DOH-SYD-LAX-LHR-xJNB-DOH-CAI
3). Or, CAI-DOH-SYD-LAX-GRU-LHR-DOH-CAI?
3a). Assume that I couldn't modify 3) to instead be ...-GRU-xJFK-LHR-DOH-CAI?

Thanks

Correct. And so the OP can change his/her ticket to explicitly include Asia. This could be before or after Sydney

To add either Africa or South America would change the ticket to a DONE5, but actually going to Asia will leave it as a DONE4
