Therefore, I would suggest that you fall foul of this rule with the SYD to LAX sector effectively terminating your travels. You could route back via HKG with no stopover to SFO, buy a domestic SFO to LAX return outside the AONE4, then SFO to NYC to LAX remembering to change once on one of the legs, ORD or DFW for example.

You have to determine the priority of the 2 day stop in LAX over the free flight internally to NYC and the extra time of routing back via HKG. Alternatively you could go up to NRT and across on AA from there but whatever you do, you will have to buy the extra ticket to avoid Route Rule 2, IMHO.
