You have 9 spare segments of which 2 can be in Asia, 4 in USA, 4 in SWP, 2 in Europe and 3 in Africa.
Starting in HKG severely cuts your options in Asia.
If you can skip either BKK or SIN, then you can have HKG-nrt-cgk-nrt-bkk/sin-SYD at the beginning to add ~9,500 base miles.
If using SIN you can go -SIN-per-cns-mel-akl-SYD-LAX- to add ~3,750 miles.
Do -SYD-JFK-LAX-DFW-BOS-DFW-PHX-LHR- for another ~8,300 miles.
Without optimizing Africa or Europe a 20 segment itin (skipping BKK) is:
HKG-nrt-cgk-nrt-sin-per-syd-akl-SYD-JFK-lax-dfw-sea-dfw-phx-LHR-MOW-LHR-CPT-JNB-HKG for nearly 60000 base miles.
