YQX-KEF (Gander to Keflavik) is only 1578nm and other airports across the northern Atlantic are also within 2000nm so only slightly interesting routing is required. You don’t need to use Greenland airports as you do for light aircraft. Extra fuel tanks for ferry flights are also an option, though probably unnecessary for this.

ferry range
JetBlue flew an E190 almost 2,700 nm in 2008 after finishing work as a McCain/Palin charter.

Indeed, unfortunately, the time when two singles were the same price - or often even cheaper! - than one return seem to have long gone. On most of my routes, singles now work at about 2/3 of the price of a return, so buying two singles represents an insurantial cost of 33% or so which is a lot.
CE to Glasgow was £114 whether as a one way or booked as first sector of a return ticket.
