Well, if you really wanted to get the maximum use out of your 6 North America segments (only one of which can be a transcon), how about YVR-JFK on CX888, and then JFK-MIA-ORD-SEA-DFW-LAX, or something along those lines? That gets a fair amount of miles out of your flights. Please note you could only stop over in two of those cities (MIA and SEA, for example).
For maxing out Europe, LHR-DXB-LHR is pretty popular. It's one of the longest route out of Heathrow that's still considered part of the Europe/Middle East zone, and can be added into an xONEx without difficulty. And if you haven't been there yet, Dubai is definitely worth a visit.
