Often you'll want to know these other locators in order to be able to choose seats on those flights.

For example, my last RTW (in 2017/2018) had:
  • the issuing carrier's locator (AA was the issuing carrier)
  • a separate record locator for the QR, UL, CX, QF, and BA flights
  • another one for the sole IB flight, and
  • after I did a re-route to include some LA flights, yet another locator for those flights
Yes, of course. I interpreted UserMark's question to be about combining separate PNRs into one RTW ticket after they had already been booked. As pandaperth said, some airlines set up their own PNRs for the parts of the itinerary that are relevant to them. You can ask the booking/plating carrier for all the PNR codes associated with your itinerary.
