Similar DONE4 Q

My TA is advising that now that all segments can be issued as E-Tickets, I will not be able to undertake the above practice, and may be inbreach of the T&A's. Is this correct?

My schedule is:

SYD-MEL-LAX-JFK,PHL-DFW-SAT-LAX-LHR-HKG-MEL-CNS-MEL-PER

If the eticket issue is correct, then I am in trouble with the number of stopovers allowed in Australia.
First, apologies for my lack of RTW ticketing knowledge ~ I have read as much as I can from previous threads but am new to the DONE4 scene.

I have booked the following itinerary for a 3 week work trip to Brasil, Germany and France in September:

MEL-AKL-SCL-GRU-LHR-TXL-LHR-CDG-LHR-HKG-MEL

AKL is intended as an overnight stop to visit friends, which unfortunately amounts to about 25 hrs...

My question for those of you with DONE4 knowledge is:

Can I add an extra sector after returning to MEL, eg., MEL-CNS, to be flown at some later stage? Any other suggestions to maximise value from the itinerary above?

Thanks in advance
