PER is quite easy to use without buying additional segments. FWIW, I am not sure buying additional segment would get around the one only PER-CNS/BNE/SYD/MEL restriction anyway.
Try this for over 67000 miles:
ORD-LAX-LHR-DXB-LHR-IST-LHR-MEL-AKL-MEL-CNS-PER-NRT-DPS-NRT-DEL-HKG-JFK-SJU-LAX-ORD
I will try it shortly. I just finished another itinerary which yields 66335 miles:
SJU-ORD-LAX-LHR-DXB-LHR-IST-LHR-SYD-PER-DRW-SYD-SIN-NRT-DPS-NRT-HKG-JFK-SJU-LAX-ORD
