Is the issue because you'd be wasting a segment? I don't think that's a big deal if you are otherwise getting what you want on the itinerary. I have no problem with a 14 or 15 segment DONEx when there's no longer a practical use for the 'wasted' segments. If you want the segment that badly you could do LHR-HKG-KUL-DPS.
Yes it was the segment. In fact we managed to kill BKI for this trip and use another segment in North America where we were a bit short. (And we might be desperate for tier points next year...)

Thanks to everyone for their help. This is the final version....NRT-HNL-SFO-xDFW-SJO-xCLT-YYZ-JFK-LHR-HEL-LPA-CMN-LHR-xHKG-DPS-KUL-NRT
