IF I want to have F routing it also would be CX heavy with only few other Fs, and SWP will be out of the game,only from/to SYD is F served nothing else in SWP.F Routing like this:
MPM-DOH-LON-HND-HKG-PEK-HKG-JFK-YVR-DFW-LAX-DOH-CDG-MAD-DKR

where I am OK with C on mpm-doh,yvr-dfw-lax as from MPM no F,and LAX is a must, but I am not happy with final sectors CDG-MAD-DKR, but I didnt find other valid route to end RTW correctly.
Well, let me ask a different question. Is Africa that important to you, and how would you be getting to Mozambique in the first place and back from Senegal at the end?

Reason being, the prices for DONEx and AONEx tickets are not that much higher if originating in other places. For example, the base price of a DONE4 originating in Norway is US$842 more than in MPM; if you originate in Japan it's only $301 more than in Mozambique (and $541 less than Norway.) An AONE4 starting in Japan is only $753 more than one starting in MPM.

How much would it cost to position yourself in MPM to start the trip or to return from DKR at the end? If you're already in Europe, how much would the difference be to start in Oslo instead?

No, it's right there in the rules:
Backtracking between Hawaii and other points in North America is not permitted.
