Is this possible and if so how do I book this? Rules say stopover is possible if you book CX888 or CX889. How many days are allowed on a stop over?

Also,considering booking just MNL HKG YVR. Then book J using Asia Miles for YVR JFK, when I go to book for just one ticket, there is availability, but if I select 2 tickets it only offers "try waitlist?" Would it be better to book 2 sepearate tickets, one through my Asia miles account and one through my wife's? How risky is relying on waitlisting?
The rules should also spell this out pretty clearly, If such clarifying language is lacking, I would use the ticket validity period (i.e. all travel needs to be completed within X days) to define the hard limit.
