Gcmap.com gives the distance on YVR-DEL-ATH at 10,037 miles (here). So does that mean the itinerary would be valid, and I could call in to stitch it together?

If you could find a routing that was exactly YVR-DEL-ATH, it would be valid. I don't believe there is a *A carrier servicing DEL-ATH, so you'd need to connect somewhere. Just by adding a connection in IST makes it exceed MPM.

And as already mentioned, calling it in to feel the segments to the agent is not as easy as it once was.
