As jrussell said you can't do two x-country flights in NA. The rule you are partially quoting has to do with 2 intercontinental arrivals and departures are allowed in NA in connection with a transfer from SA to another continent. The entire rule is here:
26N . 3. 1 INTERCONTINENTAL DEPARTURE AND 1
27N . . INTERCONTINENTAL ARRIVAL PERMITTED IN EACH
28N . CONTINENT EXCEPT AS FOLLOWS:
29N .
30N EXCEPTIONS:
31N .
32N .
33N . A. 2 PERMITTED IN NORTH AMERICA. 1 MUST BE A
34N . TRANSIT WITHOUT STOPOVER BETWEEN SOUTH
35N . AMERICA AND ANOTHER CONTINENT.
The rule that restricts you to one transcontinental flight in NA is here:
67N . A. 1 NONSTOP OR SINGLE PLANE TRANSCONTINENTAL
68N . FLIGHT PERMITTED.
69N . TRANSCONTINENTAL FLIGHT IS DEFINED AS TRAVEL
70N . BETWEEN THE FOLLOWING CITIES:
71N .
72N . BWI/BOS/FLL/BDL/MIA/EWR/NYC/ORL/PHL/SJU/YYZ/WAS
73N . AND
74N . LAS/LGB/LAX/OAK/SNA/PDX/SAN/SFO/SEA/SJC/YVR
Actually Eqypt is considered part of Europe for some things and not for others. The OneWorld Explorer rules actually lump Europe and the Middle East together for most purposes but Egypt is not included as part of Europe but as part of the Middle East. See:
145N I EUROPE/MIDDL I ALL OF EUROPE /INCLUDING ALGERIA, I
146N I E EAST I MOROCCO, TUNISIA/ I
147N I I ALL OF MIDDLE EAST /INCLUDING I
148N I I EGYPT, SUDAN/ I
149N ------------------------------------------------------
Good luck if you think you do both LHR-DXB-LHR-CAI, since the rule changed two years ago it hasn't been possible.
