Also, FYI RJ will need to join oneworld before you have your tickets issued (not before the start of travel) for AMM-RAK.

Unfortunately the connections have to be considered in deciding whether it is a valid routing as they count towards the segment limit. It looks like more than 4 segments are needed in SA -- 2 can be bought for a fee -- but more than 6 is not allowed under any circumstance. So the routing has to be worked out before it can be checked for validity. This one is borderline.

Ok, sorry forgot to put in specific connections. I think the route would look like this:
LHR-BKK-(via SYD)-CHC-overland-AKL-(via SCL)-LIM-overland-CUZ-AQP-overland-VVI-(via SCL)-EZE-overland-IGR-AEP-overland-EZE-MAD-CAI-overland-AMM-(via MAD assuming RJ is member)-RAK-LHR.
I think this means that I only have 4 flight segments within S. America which should be ok. Feel free to correct me!
