AA OW Award - Connecting Flight Unable to Book as 1 Award; Available as Multicity

Situation:
I can find a flight on sale with Finnair/AY from KEF-HEL-DUB, and when I try to book as an award ticket via AA.com, it shows as not available. However, when I do a multicity, or separate award booking, it comes up on the website. The connecting flight is the next AM, but the layover itself is less than 9 hours.

Of course, the issue is that it doubles the cost of the ticket from 12.5K to 25K. Party of 4 basically means I'm spending an extra 50K.

Is there something that can be done to price this out as the 12.5K? Can this be done via a call maybe?

Thanks in advance.
