Without getting into the nttiy gritty of the AFTLs, no we don't operate multiple legs on ULH eg HKG-AMS then stop. Legs of 12+ hrs are operated with 4 crew eg LHR, FCO, LAX, SFO etc. Aust, NZ flights & some Middle East flights are 3 crew it can depend on the season which affects the average flight time for a sector. Shorter sectors like HKG-PER only have 2 crew.
