Business is twice the Avios shown on the chart, but from reading on FT it seems if your longest flight is in economy, the whole trip would be charged the economy price. So a significant saving if you could put up with either SIN-LHR or SYD-DPS in economy.
SYD-DPS in economy wouldn't help very much at ~2900 miles. But in general yes - the whole thing prices on the longest leg. We've made out well from the multi-partner chart a couple of times, but we're still young enough to deal with a 12+ hour economy leg [and not Avios rich enough to afford it otherwise]. Not an insignificant amount of planning required though.
