So the flights won't be in the air at the same time but the revenue flight would happen during the layover in the award ticket. Thoughts?
I don't think there is a problem with the nesting (and as people have said you can always drop the last segment). I do think there is a problem with the connection time.

That seems like a very tight connection if you have any baggage. Because you will need to claim it, go through customs, and check in again. While the minimum I-to-D conenction time may be shorter than that, I'm pretty sure that applies to same ticket where you don't need to check in again.
