So long as they spend less than 24 hours at all of those airports they could arrive at OSL sometime around November 29, or maybe later if the flight schedules allow, and still be within the letter of the rules.
Even though the fare rule may give such impression, the system will not allow it, as the last sector needs to have an NVA (Not Valid After) on the same date, 1 year later than the date of your 1st sector. As long as the last sector departs on that day, it is fine. It can arrive 1 or 2 calendar days after.
