Logically you'd book two tickets:
SFO-LHR on the 1st, LHR-SFO on the 5th
SFO-LHR on the 8th, LHR-SFO on the 12th

However, since you have no Saturday night stay, it's VERY expensive.

With back to back ticketing, you book two tickets:
SFO-LHR on the 1st, LHR-SFO on the 12th
LHR-SFO on the 5th, SFO-LHR on the 8th

Now both tickets have a Saturday night stay, and are much cheaper.
