3) Stupid question, but on the US legs can I stop for a few days in each city?

4) Just to confuse matters, if I miss out Europe and have Asia as my other continent

Addressing the questions I can:

1) Then the validator must have a bug. The rule is:

Code:

 66N . 9. WITHIN AUSTRALIA -.                                   
 67N .    ONLY 1 NONSTOP OR SINGLE PLANE FLIGHT PERMITTED       
 68N .    BETWEEN THE FOLLOWING                                 
 69N .    CITIES:                                               
 70N .    .                                                     
 71N .       * BNE/CNS/SYD/MEL AND PER /SEE EXCEPTIONS          
 72N .    BELOW/                                                
 73N .       * MEL/SYD AND DRW                                 
 74N .       * MEL/SYD AND BME                                 
 75N .         EXCEPTION 1:  NO RESTRICTION BETWEEN SYD/MEL-    
 76N .    PER                                                   
 77N .         FOR PASSENGERS ORIGINATING IN PER WHEN IN        
 78N .         CONJUNCTION WITH TRAVEL TO/FROM                  
 79N .    JNB/BOM/SHA/PEK.                                      
 80N .         EXCEPTION 2:   NO RESTRICTION BETWEEN            
 81N .    SYD/MEL-PER                                           
 82N .         FOR PASSENGERS ORIGINATING NEW ZEALAND WHEN      
 83N .    IN                                                    
 84N .         CONJUNCTION WITH TRAVEL TO/FROM JNB.

3) Outside the continent of origin (Africa in this case) you can stopover for as long as you want at any point, up to the 12 month validity of the ticket. In the continent of origin you can only have two stopovers, but on your routing that's fine.

4) You can't do a xONEn without including Europe (or at least, without paying for it - you can avoid landing there if you take the AA ORD-DEL flight which is deemed to be transatlantic).
