if you buy the ticket as one booking how much time is there between arrival and departure? Without knowing that it’s had to advise if you have enough time or not if you were on separate tickets.
Thank you, yes, I'm aware of the points in your first 2 statements.
Hence my question about how long it would take. Then I can organize the layover. Thanks

The only thing you forego here is the need for more ground time at LHR.
The flight arriving to LHR and departing to CFU would both be BA. AA is on the stateside at beginning of trip, hence the AA booking. Guessing they may be in same terminal? 2 flights to CFU and the latest would provide a 4+hr layover.

You need to establish which terminals you would be using. Maybe T3 (AA) to T5? (BA) [not 100%sure]
If the airlines are offering a time difference that is close to the minimum connection time MCT, you need to allow a lot more time, and them some, as you are not connecting.
As above at worst you will buying new walk up fares to Corfu.
Route?-->
You will also need to ensure you have passport/visa that allow entry into UK.
Thank you for the resources, I'll look into all of these.
