I think whether or not you're able to ticket these types of itineraries over the phone depends on the agent you get.
This used to be _somewhat_ doable with the "old" system, where everything was ultimately completely manually done. I've been able to do it, though anytime an agent would look at the itinerary after they'd freak out and tell me that any changes I make I'd first need to fix the open jaw.
With the new system, it's a straight no right away because "computer says no".
