Good question.
I suppose most if not all FTers would like to know.
In addition to up-posts' links, there are a few threads on xDONEx out of AMM. Don't have the links off-hand. Search tool will produce some good results, I hope.
The hard way, but a great learning process, is to stitch together your own itinerary (or based on someone else's itin found around here in OW forum) and find out for sure. OW has great tools for that. Go to http://www.oneworld.com/
Estimated miles can be calculated by http://milecalc.com/

But I believe that The Sudan is the cheapest for a DONE4 ticket (base prices 14,700 SDG approx= 5,500 USD)
and I expect The Sudan would also be cheapest for DONE3,5 and 6 as well

Look at the One World list of carriers (eg AA, BA, CX, QF, LA etc). Think of where they go, then look at Great Circle Mapper to graphically map the itinerary (you need to know the 3 letter airport codes). GCM will also tell you mileages. Use the examples on the OneWorld web site for xONEx routes then modify those to suit what you think works for you.

How about this?Please teach me if I should change it. I have to go to New York, Buenos Aires or Scl, and Tokyo.I only have to be able to go to those cities. Therefore, the route and the city can be changed.
Thinking about routing is very happy. However, it is difficult. Because only this airline is in going to Sudan.

I also have a few suggestions and comments to make
- There is no Oneworld flight KRT-LON. BA used to fly this some years ago, but nowadays the only Oneworld flight out of KRT is RJ's flight to AMM. So that needs to be added to the beginning of your itinerary.
This will cause you to have five flight segments in your continent of origin (Europe) which is not allowed - the maximum allowed is four. So you must drop one segment. - There is no direct flight between EZE and TYO. However you are allowed to fly via Nth America provided the stop there is less than 24 hours. So you could fly from EZE to JFK, DFW or LAX and then from there fly on to TYO

(MAD has been dropped to comply with the max four flight segments in continent of origin)
Suggestions/Comments:(MAD has been dropped to comply with the max four flight segments in continent of origin)
- You are allowed no more than two stopovers in your continent of origin - so you will have to choose which of the four stops will be transits (less than 24 hrs)
- If you stopover in London then when you fly out of there you will be paying the UK's air passenger duty - which if flying to the USA is GBP120. You can avoid that by transiting London or by avoiding London completely
- You can visit both EZE and SCL if you wish (LA flies between the two)
- Your transit of Nth America can be the first visit or the second visit - so you could transit between Europe and Sth America and then have your Nth American stopovers between Sth America and Asia
(OR you could just fly Europe --> Sth America --> Nth America) - You are not using all 16 segments that the ticket allows. You could add extra segments in Nth America, Sth America or Asia
- RJ flies from AMM non-stop to Nth America (to JFK, ORD, YUL and DTW) so you could save a European segment by taking one of those flights
So, here's an itinerary that takes all the above into account:

- some would want ANC, others would want Carribean islands such as BGI or AUA, while yet others would want more cities in US or maybe Canada
