I can't imagine that this is going to work.

OP can't book this as an EXTRASEAT because on the DEN-XXX leg, it's the only seat. And OP can't book this under the actual name, because then you have duplicate tickets on the LAX-DEN leg.

You can't have ticket for a passenger whose name changes at the midpoint.

You could likely do it as an EXTRASEAT on LAX-DEN and then a regular ticket on DEN-XXX, but I suspect this is OP's attempt to get a better fare (LAX-XXX is probably cheaper than DEN-XXX).

Perhaps ANA would be willing to drop the last segment.
