If you check the bag in for the international flight and it is checked throiugh to the domestic flight, then the international allowance will apply to the domestic sector due to it being the most significant carrier

The OP has stated that the allowances are different which would be quite possible when switching from one airline to another with a stopover

With a journey with no stopover then the MSMC allowance would apply from origin to destination - or where a circle trip from point of check in to next stopover point

With a stopover ( except with US/CA itineraries ) the allowances are calculated based on each stopover point and quite easy to have different allowances for different parts of a journey

It is indeed straightofrward - the allowances should be displayed in the booking
