Well, you have 3 unused segments so you could do a LHR-DXB turnaround to maximize mileage. Otherwise, you could add segments in Asia, SWP, or EUR. If you want to maximize miles I would buy the LHR-EDI-LHR separately and utlize those segments elsewhere.
I assume this "sin-(bne)-nrt" means you are doing sin-bne on a separate ticket and not trying to transit bne to get to nrt (which you can't do).
