Issue is when it’s a thru fare. What seems to be happening — and it isn’t exact — is AA takes the mileage portion first and determines how many miles u get from that and then takes the balance of the the miles u would have gotten if it was all AA thru fare and subtracts the partner portion of the thru ticket. Net: it seems like on a mixed itinerary with a thru fare, you end up close to what you would have gotten if it was all AA marketed. Of course YMMV. This is not an exact science.

If you fly JFK-LHR-SOF and the JFK-LHR segment was AA but the LHR-SOF segment was on BA, how do you assign the value of the airfare from LHR-SOF which is not based on dollars but on mileage.

Is this what they do?.....
JFK-MAD represents 70.79% of the distance. Take $1000 and multiply it by 70.79% yielding $707.90 in fare. $707.90 x 9 (plat pro earning level) = 6,371 LPs for the AA leg
MAD-ATH on IB is calculated based on fare class and miles flown. 1481 miles (MAD->ATH) x 0.50 (S class fare basis) x 1.8 (plat pro earning level) = 1,333 LPs for the IB leg
Total = 7,704 LPs
Is this correct?
