RTW Award rules

Trying to get an idea about how these rtw awards work... (specifically Delta, but are other Skyteam FF Awards similar?)
So something like this would be (insane and grueling) but legal?

AUS-ATL-MIA-CAY on DL/AF
CAY-PAR-BKO on AF
BKO-PAR-FCO-TIP on AF/AZ
TIP-FCO-PAR-MRU on AZ/AF
MRU-PAR-TAS on AF
TAS-CDG-HAN on AF
HAN-ICN-MNL on KE
MNL-ICN-DFW-AUS on KE/DL

though looks like MRU-TAS connection isn't possible with the current schedules.. flight arrives from MRU at 19:00 and the flight to TAS leaves at 19:30, obviously requiring a > 24 hr stopover. Do they allow bending the rules a bit for flights like this? What if the next flight isn't for several days for infrequent destinations
