You can change routing without repricing the award, while keeping the airlines constant, with a few caveats. Basically you cannot break the fare. You cannot add a stopover. You’re going to have to stick with a legal routing for the primary carrier on the itinerary.

Not sure how I understand how this would work, once it's no longer a 1-1 on the route, because the mileage available later would likely not be the same, or what qualifies as a "minor route change".
