I just called QF to check & Number6's example above would NOT be called a big 1-way with stopovers. The concept of stopovers has been abolished by the new rules. Each origin--(via transfer)--destination is calculated separately as a one-way & points assessed accordingly.
The only exception is the OneWorld awards.
