This will probably have to be an economy trip unless I can come up with some decent business pricing. One thought is that I may want to split some of the longer flights with an overnight stop just to make economy travel more bearable e.g. 24 hours in the emirates.

Before I get to deep into this can anyone suggest any routing to include interesting places, I have spent some time in Japan before so I would like to go elsewhere this trip although Okinowa in Japan is one option I was considering Tawain has been recommened but I am happy to consider anywhere else with decent links between the UK and Japan. I am pretty sure i will have to step outside oneworld at least for some of this trip.

Any tips to for keen business prices also appreciated.

TIA
Routes between Okinawa and rest of Japan are well served by JL. Both CX and JL fly between Taiwan and Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. You certainly don't need to step outside of oneworld if these are the excursions you are considering.

If you are just considering breaking a long-haul between the UK and Japan into 2 medium-hauls, within oneworld I can't think of anything else other than QR, many of whose fares do allow free stopover in DOH.
