ok, i did it:
Apr/May: AKL-PPT-IPC-SCL-MAD-VIE, Oct: VIE-NRT; 845 (Eco, mostly LAN); quite a struggle with Priceline, but finally it worked as a six segment booking
Positioner 1: Apr: CDG-ZRH-HKG; Oct: SIN-ZRH-CDG; 1270 (LX Biz)
Positioner 2: HKG-AKL CX (op NZ) 370
Positioner 3: NRT/HND-SIN - not booked yet
Positioner 4: VIE-CDG/ORY-VIE - not booked yet
this is probably the most crazy thing I΄ve ever booked; given the destinations I even look forward to eco.
thx to all posters at flyertalk who have contributed, if you need any details on my dates pm me.

I have tried similar routing but I am sure it pushes the price up quite a lot, he has stopover in AKL, PPT, IPC which I have never replicated for anything below 1200USD

But it was a shorter itinerary: ICN-AKL-PPT-IPC-SCL because on august I didn't know that is possible to buy a better routing to -MAD-TYO ...
So on october I bought another trip SCL-MAD-HEL-TYO with LAN/Finnair/JAL
try this for example:

Thx everybody for tips and help, I finally pulled the trigger on
AKL - PPT (5 days) - IPC (2 days) - SCL - GYE - GPS (4 days) - GYE - MAD - NRT
Due to all the stops and high season (July 2018) the price went up to 1100 (would be around 900 if I could go before June 24th, also 80 less for only 23h on IPC, but this is probably once-in-a-lifetime stop so no cost-cutting there) but believe it is worth it
Tried several ways to add another stop between MAD in NRT closer to my home but all the combinations add at least another 300 so a Ryanair flight will have to do.
Found a 5* airline feeder connection from home airport (usually quite expensive airport & airline) for 500 (2 short stops) so probably buying it as summer prices are normally quite high and AA KUL-AKL is already over 200 for my dates so not much (if any) saving if flying low-cost. A week in NZ (summer skiing ) before Tahiti/Moorea will be also interesting I guess.

High season more due to tickets rules (summer holidays, unfortunately my wife's days off are fixed so no flex there) then great weather or festivals.
I managed to do a lot of different routings over Europe (also through Vienna, Venice, ...) but not if GPS is included (probably to many stops already on this leg of the ticket). Also tried to book through travel agent (a friend) but he couldn't include XL (LATAM Ecuador) tickets into Amadeus booking
Enjoy the last part of your trip, also doing it twice it is not such a bad idea, as it is possible to choose so many different routings.

maybe it is because of the high season, because I can price out lower season with over 10 transfers including SCY on the SCL-TYO, it turns out it can become a segment run if one really wishes the torture. Also one can do an ICN transfer on the way to TYO and just hop off to prepare for a back to back.

I used powertools as my trip is significantly more complicated, but PL always works. Another very useful trick I found out was that the url gf teleports you to pl errors out because they assume all flights as individual ones instead of connections, study a few bookings and you will find out changing a few "-" into "~" fixes a lot of problems.
