If tomorrow HND-SYD is also available, can I get them to add the sector to the existing booking and reprice as a through itinerary, and just pay the difference in miles (20k) and taxes (HKD)? If I can call right when it opens, within 24 hours from the original booking, does that make a difference?
Barring that, if something comes up with a full through itinerary EU>JP>AU, can they redeposit my miles while I'm on the phone in order to grab a new itinerary without losing the old one in the meantime?
If the ticket has already been issued, it is a re-routing and 50USD or 7500AM change fee applies:

Next time, maybe you can ask nicely and see if the CX agent on the phone will hold the booking for you for 1~2 days, if you booked LHR-HND via phone.
JL has married segment control, so even if LHR-HND is available and HND-SYD is available, this doesn't mean LHR-xHND-SYD is available. Assuming the connection is available and the time in HND is 24 hours or less, your itinerary can be ticketed as a one-way redemption ticket.

Both HND and HND//NRT are transits (within 24 hours), right? I concur with
percysmith that MNL-xHND-CTS-xHND//NRT-MNL should be bookable, if not online than via phone. You may experience some pushbacks from inexperienced agents, though.
