China Airlines reward seats using Qantas points

I want to book a redemption flight from ROR to TPE. The problem is, I can't select ROR as a departure airport. I can see plenty of availability for my dates by searching a TPE-ROR return, but when I call QF they can't even seem to find the flights, let alone availability. Tried a few different agents and all said the same - any ideas? Could I book the return and then call them up to cancel the TPE-ROR portion?
It's because to sell a one-way flight ex-ROR, Qantas needs to have a point of sale in Palau, which it does not.

One workaround is to book a multi-city with ROR-TPE as the second leg. For instance, MEL-SYD + ROR-TPE on one multi-city ticket.

That’s good information, thanks. Would I actually have to travel on the first leg for the second leg not to get cancelled?

Second thought if the answer is yes - can I move the first leg past the ex-ROR flight once ticketed?
Never tried this myself, but unfortunately I think the answer to both is No. Maybe someone else can chime in with some other options
 
Does anybody know whether on a single PNR classic reward, flying J on CI then connecting to a QF flight also in J (which is the most significant carrier) - how is the baggage allowance calculated?

Would the whole trip be based on a Qantas weight allowance (including additional allowance for Gold) or piece system?
 
What's the latest with using the QF PNR for CI's Manage Booking portal?

I've booked a QFF award on CI in J for next year, was even able to select seats on the QF page during the booking process (it showed the CI seat map just fine). Now two weeks later trying to check something via CI's manage my booking, but says either my name or PNR is incorrect (it isn't, unless there's a separate CI one?). Also in the QF app it shows the flight and the seat allocation, but cannot manage or change anything (greyed out).

Appreciate any insights, but seems different folks have different experiences (I had no problems with it last year on another QF redemption).

I made a CR booking with AY and CI flights on the itinerary recently. I was able to select seats for the CI flights through the QF manage booking page in the Qantas seat selection interface.
