This is especially annoying because the way my luggage is configured, it forces me to have one large, heavy 30kg bag, then an underpacked max-sized carryon (with my camera backpack stuck in it as well) and laptop bag. I much prefer splitting the weight between the two rollerboards then just having my camera backpack and laptop bag to carry on... Doesn't make the plane any heavier (and puts a lot less weight in the overheads.)

So anyways, it does not seem that an RTW gives you your "home" baggage allowance the entire route...
