It has the required trans-atlantic flight (SFO-DOH)
It has the required trans-pacific flight (DEL-JFK - which looks like it's not trans-pacific, but is according to OneWorld - I guess because it is from Asia to North America)

Other Notes
Yes the rules are complicated, especially if you are new to them. I recommend the Oneworld Explorer User Guide Wiki, which is more readable.

The itinerary I posted uses only 12 of the allowed 16 segments. Your profile doesn't say where you are located, but if it is in Nth America then you could make use of the four remaining segments to have an extra trip, or two, any time before the 1-year anniversary of your departure from Oslo.

Assuming this trip is pleasure, not business - might DPS be a better choice than CGK?

Edited to add:
I've just realised that Qantas flies CGK-MEL, so HKG could be dropped from the itinerary I posted
Meaning only 11 segments are being used
Which in turn means five segments would be available to use later
This is really helpful, thanks. I’m UK based.

These flights will be credited to BA, hence why trying as much as possible to prioritise JL and QR over other airlines, and why I was trying to use JL to hop around Asia. If a flight with JL from KUL to SGN going through NRT uses up 2 of the 4 Asian segments, then I’ll have to significantly rethink the itinerary as it means hopping around Asia may not be viable using a DONE4.
