Depending on how you get to ORD, you'd have 5 NA coupons left (including one transcontinental flight) and all 4 in Europe. The USD125 reissue fee would be small change compared to the optimising you could do. You'd need to have the ticket issued with an open return date to LHR in the first place, and when leaving N. America the second time you'd have to go somewhere else than the UK if you intended to use the Euro segments.
