Ha! What a timely thread! I've been toying with a DONE4 ex-AMM or a DONE5 ex-JNB for a while, and after much playing around, here's the routing I came up with to maximize mileage for myself.
AMM-LHR-LAX-DFW-ANC-DFW-LAX-JFK-HKG-BOM-HKG-DEL-NRT-SYD-LHR-MCT @ 57230 Miles / 1800 BA Tier Points
In the quoted routing, DEL-HKG would be the 5th segment in Asia thus making the itinerary invalid.

AMM-LHR-LAX-DFW-ANC-DFW-LAX-JFK-NRT-CGK-NRT-DEL-HKG-AKL-SYD-LHR-MCT
16 segments; 60006miles; TPs ?
By substituting CX to HKG for Asia entrance with JL to NRT you are able to do a NRT-CGK return which is 7240 miles compared to HKG-BOM return 5316 miles.
