Yes, as above.

I can definitely route all of the east coast US flights to/from JFK, and JFK-DOH-OSL on QR has a lot of appeal. However, I thought that if I book through the AA RTW desk I'd need to have at least one of the transoceanic flights on AA metal/codeshare?

Ignore what you think normal ticketing would do for routing. As long as there is availability in D visible to whomever is booking your ticket, accounting for married segments if applicable, and the routing meets the xONEx rules.. then you can fly the segments you want. That's all that matters here.
Thanks. That helps a lot.
