I’m pretty sure the rules state « Two permitted in Asia
if one is for travel between Southwest Pacific and Europe / Middle East »
So visiting Asia first, then going down under, then re-entering Asia to connect to HNL, doesn’t work.
However, if he started by flying with Europe-xSIN/xHKG/xHND-SYD then he could re-enter Asia subsequently (and to the Asia portion of his RTW before flying to HNL)
Hope to him if this is all worth it (with small kids) for extra nTPs!
