Is this possible? I've tried to work it out but lost hope, also am I using up everything I'm allowed? Would have loved to have also fitted in Dubai & Beijing but couldnt find flights on OW carriers between cities...

There is no OW YVR-LAX direct flight (only AA codeshare on AS but this cannot be used on xONEx). You would need to go YVR-ORD/DFW-LAX which still fits within your NA 6 segment limit.

Also LAX-PPT is a TN (Air Tahiti Nui) flight and also ineligible on xONEx. Don't think you can get to pacific (other than Hawaii) on OW from LAX. You would have to go LAX-AKL (QF) and then buy a side trip from AKL.
