Suggestions on how to improve a DONE4

Any suggestions on how to improve this trip? I have included other flights we plan to buy versus including them in the OneWorld itn.

1: SFO-ORD: 1st of 6 (North America)
2: ORD-PVG: 1st of 1 (intercontinental entry to Asia without immediate transit & departure)
3: PVG-ICN: surface [PVG-XMN-PEK-ICN]
4: ICN-HKG: 1st of 4 (Asia)
5: HKG-DEL: 2nd of 4 (Asia)
6: DEL-HKG: 3rd of 4 (Asia)
7: HKG-JNB: intercontinental
8: JNB-WDH: 1st of 4 (Africa)
9: WDH-JNB: surface [WDH-MUB-JNB]
10: JNB-MRU: 2nd of 4 (Africa)
11: MRU-JNB: 3rd of 4 (Africa)
12: JNB-CPT: surface [JNB-CPT]
13: CPT-LHR: intercontinental
14: LHR-CAI: 1st of 4 (Europe)
15: CAI-MIKONOS: surface [CAI-AMM-ATH-Other Greek Island-JMK]
16: MIKONOS-LGW: 2nd of 4 (Europe) [LGW-INV-LGW]
17: LGW-KEF: 3rd of 4 (Europe) [RKV-KUS-RKV]
18: KEF-LGW: 4th of 4 (Europe)
19: LGW-LHR: surface
20: LHR-ORD: intercontinental

With taxes this priced out at USD$8850 for a DONE4—so it seems like we are not paying for any extra segments. Also for some reasons MilageMonkey would not recognize JMK as valid.

I wanted an additional N. America segment, but with the new land segment rules that seems impossible.

The new surface segments rules have devaluated the OneWorld product. I used up 4 surface segments that I needed in North America. Now I will have to buy those.
