I called and the SQ agent told me that it was not possible to do on one ticket even though SQ had available saver space for all segments. (I guess SQ metal gets you to the first point in the destination country and then anything beyond that is separate.)
Normally when calling SQ for available space, the agent would simply provide you SQ availability. That is very distinct from *A availability. Unfortunately, SQ doesn't make its longhaul flights readily available for *A awards which is what you were looking for with the additional segment. The screenshot I provided above (JFK-FRA-CPH) is an example of an SQ flight as a *A award (note the search tab is on "Star Alliance" and not "Singapore Airlines").
