2 Quick Questions
I am looking at starting a OWE5 from Brisbane in August 05. Can I start the trip with a BNE-SYD in May to avoid the High season and then continue with the SYD-SCL on the 1 Aug (in the high season)?????
Secondly am I able to travel on what looks like a Iberian code share flight operated by another carrier. Specifically 7904 BCN-CPH, which appears to be operated by MAERSK??
any advice appreciated!

You're required to fly OWE segments on aircraft operated by the OW airline (plus in many cases its regional "offspring", e.g. BA/Comair and others), so the IB codeshare you mentioned wouldn't be allowed.
I can't speak to the seasonality question. I'm not entirely convinced that coach-cabin OWE's are the best use of one's funds - I spent much of my life flying in the cheap seats, and consolidator fares were always much cheaper than the best deals I could find on "real" airlines.

SYD-SCL can be hard to get a seat
If you want to save some $$$ consider starting in BKK

Because you are talking about seasons, you must be in economy. So may not be worth buying it in BKK. Oz economy prices are not too bad.
