Yes. You have a max of 20 segments, with up to 6 in NA, but only 2 NA stopovers (as NA is the originating continent). You could go ord-nrt-hkg-sin-hkg-nrt-hkg-lhr-ord-anc-dfw-lax-las-ord (with stopovers in ORD & ANC for example). You have 12 months to complete the ticket, so the ORD stopover could be say 30 weeks and then 3 weeks in ANC. What is your intended routing ? How interested are you in maximising miles as opposed to minimising flight times ?
