Call a travel agent, pay their small fee and explore a single ticket with a stopover vs. a pair of individual tickets. One will be cheaper, and select that option.

I routinely have flown CM to MGA on a flight that leaves PTY and stops in SJO first, stayed in SJO for a week before resuming the flight to MGA. There was no or no material price difference. So YYZ-PTY (connect) SJO (stop for a week) MGA (stop for another week). Then return MGA-PTY-YYZ without stopping anywhere. Now that's a round trip but on the way down, they did not make any commotion over stopping in another connection city for 7 days.
