In all honesty I am in the midst of pricing so I really don't know if the 21,000 mile available fare in economy is possible or this becomes a 26,000.
I'm somewhat confused by all this but maybe it's just me ....

The only mileage-based RTW tickets that I'm aware of are Global Explorer, Circle Pacific and Circle SWP Asia tickets. Presumably, you're planning a Global Explorer? If so, they come in 26,000, 29,000, 34,000 and 39,000 variations (at least in Y) - no 21,000 mile version.

The 26,000 mile ticket ex-London is L1,179 (or L1,289 in high season). Ex-Canada, the same ticket is C$3,999 (or almost twice as much). I don't understand why you would have this issued in Canada when you are starting in London?

Now that I re-read your post, are you starting in London, Ontario (for which the airport code is YXU, not LON, which is the universal code for London, England)? Are you really going to KWL (which is Guilin in China) rather than KUL (which is Kuala Lumpur)?

Can you perhaps clarify the proposed itinerary?
