This is partly a business trip and non-negotiable stops are MAN, GIG, BOG, YYZ and PER.

Add'l logic - trying to avoid APD in LHR, also wanting to maximise Finnair tier points hence YYZ-DFW-LAX-BNE-PER (AA) vs YYZ-HKG-PER (CX) or the various QF alternatives

Thanks
First reaction: too many segments. Maximum allowed 16, both flight segments and surface segments.

Second reaction: You are allowed only one departure from the country of origin and one arrival back. You have two of each.

Third: APD is a UK tax. If you stay more than 24hrs in the UK then you will be charged it.

Fourth: You are allowed only two stopovers in your continent of origin - it is unclear how many you have

General comment: you say you're a bit rusty on the rules - so it might be worth your while to refresh your memory of them by reading through the User Guide wiki
