Itinerary 2

Day 2: F-A-G-H-B
Day 12: B-C-J-A-K-F (arrive Day 13)

where

These are intercontinental itineraries. Point F is outside the USA and all other points are in the USA. There are no stopovers.

Saturdays are say Days 3 and 10.

Both itineraries require a Saturday night stay, otherwise no minimum stay.
Fare rules do not allow double open jaws. Half round trips may be combined in many cases. Itinerary 1 allows end-on-end, and Itinerary 2 allows end-on-end for domestic fares without specifically disallowing for international.

Thoughts?

I think you can do this assuming A and B are not co-terminals as you are flying A-F-B-F-A. If they are co-terminals, then it would be back-to-back instead of end-on-end and generally not allowed.
