Is there any way I can pool together these points to book two RT tickets for the same flight?

I briefly checked out the Star Alliance transfer partners for Capital One (Avianca, Air Canada, Singapore) and they don't seem to offer the same flights as UA when I went with a paid option. E.g. Air Canada was offering its own flights from SFO -> YVR, then UA/Lufthansa for YVR -> FRA; whereas UA will fly nonstop.

Have you looked at booking SFO-FRA one way with one lot of ff miles/points and FRA-SFO one way with the other. No advantage booking as a return.

And other airports instead of FRA. Trains in Germany are good.
