The tool is very buggy, and this is one of the known bugs - there is a thread discussing the bugs xONEx online tool bugs thread - FlyerTalk Forums

so I thought I'd check here if this looks like a valid itinerary or if there are issues with it that I might not have spotted:
Your itinerary looks fine
OSL-LHR-SIN-MEL-SYD-NOU-SYD-SIN-HKT-HKG-KIX-LAX-BOS-LHR-OSL

(first SIN stop transit only) - doesn't need to be, can be a stopover if you want it

Your second visit to Asia is allowed (the rule is two visits are allowed "when one is for travel between the Southwest Pacific and Europe/Middle East", which your LHR-SIN-MEL routing satisfies


I'm within the 16 legs, but not sure if I have too many flights in Asia and Australia
In South-West Pacific - you are using three (MEL-SYD-NOU-SYD) of the allowed four flight segments
In Asia - you are again using three (SIN-HKT-HKG-KIX) of the allowed four flight segments, but I don't think there is a direct Oneworld flight between SIN and HKT, so you will need to use an extra segment (e.g. SIN-KUL-HKT) - still not exceeding the four allowed flight segments


Hoping I can use my BA vouchers to bring the pricing down even further!
Suggestions:
If you are wanting to see more of Australia, you can change one of your SYD visits to BNE. If you have an unused segment, then you can add PER between SIN and MEL
