I thought that on achieving silver tier miles did not reset until the end of the year meaning that those that achieved silver were kept as part of the number for gold provided you meet the qualification deadline. Provided Jinxy has 4 A3 sectors then FCO-BKK-MEL on a J ticket should get gold on one hit.
Back in the day I got my A3 gold on a single return LHR-ZRH-BKK on LX but then it was so much easier then and the miles that got me silver also got me gold about four days later.
