Is there a way to book this itinerary so it will be in one PNR?

If I book them separately, CX (HKG-LAX), LA (LAX-LIM), can I check through my bags to LIM?

Definitely possible to book together, if not on CX's website, through OTA or traditional TA. You can see a sample itinerary below (not the cheapest possible date). Besides CX + LA/LP, the fare also allows you to use AA via MIA and CM via PTY.

CX will through-check your bag across separate tickets to LA, but not sure about vice versa.

But as a general observation - and I'm glad to be corrected - there is no through checking thru the US (some exception for MIA pre-pandemic but not aware for LAX).

I think being able to use the bag redrop facility immediately after customs is still a great convenience, as opposed to having to go to LA's counter in the departure area to check in, for example.
