Actually I wasn't confused, it's not in the oneworld award section, but it is a T&C for ALL classic awards, including the oneworld award:
Ok thanks.
But multiple times through the one country that is not the country of first departure should be fine ?
Yep, have done this myself .
Ok this is pushing it but how about the same city ?
If I'm starting in KUL can I go KUL-JED-KUL*-MEL-SIN-SYD-HKG-CGK-KUL
Where the * is just a <24hr stop ?
My reading of 14.3.5 posted above is no, only one departure from the city of origin.
Even for a transit ?
Wasn't there some sort of exception/allowance for stoppages for <24 hours ?
Yeah in every country except the country of origin.
The 2 relevant rules are:
1 stopover, 2 transfers maximum per city
and
1 departure from the city or country of origin.
Yes, twice, plus one stopover.

Frequent Flyer Concierge takes the hard work out of finding award availability and redeeming your frequent flyer or credit card points for flights.
Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, the Frequent Flyer Concierge team at Frequent Flyer Concierge will help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.
Ok, but can you transit (<24 hours) three times and do not stop over on any of them ?
No. You can make one of them 25 hours and do it but it will count as one of your 5 stopovers.
Is 5 the absolute maximum number of stop overs on a 280k RTW ?
Yes.
This might save some time:
