Looking at the other side of the income-expense equation of traveling there are many ways to make income while you travel. I make more than I spend per day by running my business remotely via skype and email. I have met other travelers who can cover their travel costs indefinitely by travel writing, selling photos, teaching English, doing import-export of ...

There are numerous companies that offer mail scanning/destruction/forwarding services. They vary dramatically in price and service levels, so I'd suggest a bit of research into whichever one you select would be a good idea.
There is an excellent list of a number of the services including prices in this FlyerTalk post. The rest of that thread (click the ...

I am afraid there is no temporary (nonimmigrant) visa that allows you to be a tourist and work at the same time (except for H-1B, H-2B), and by work I mean getting paid by any US employer.
As a Dutch citizen, you can enter under the visa waiver program which allows you enter for tourism/business/medical reasons only. You will not be allowed to work. To work ...

Reading all over the internet suggests that you go to the UK and re-enter again with your long sejour visa. In addition to that the official website of the French Ministry of Interior says:
• A valid visa corresponding to the reason for and duration of the intended stay (except for visa waivers);
and in the required documents upon arrival section ...

The allowed duration of a stopover is defined by the type of ticket and (therefore) the airline. I've never tried to get such a long stopover, but I can imagine it would be possible.
However, this is as much an alternative to a RTW ticket as an actual RTW ticket is. On a typical flight between two locations, you won't have more than one stopover. Unless ...

A two-year tour of World Heritage sites (962 places) is now available, offered by a British luxury company. By the way, it costs about 1 million pounds. It claims to cover all the sites if they are safely accessible.
The Daily Mail lists some of the stops.

As you point out yourself, this is rather impossible to answer constructively and satisfyingly; there are just too many undefined paramaters involved.
Still, purely theoretically, it's probably hard to beat the cumulative cost of traveling by campervan. Sure, fuel is more pricey, but as it provides accommodation while allowing you to cook yourself, assuming ...

When you meet with the consulate to get your visa, they will look at your travel itinerary and give you a visa that includes those dates, usually also with a couple days of buffer on both sides.
Once you have entered the Schengen area, no matter from which country, no one will look at your visa at the border crossings again.
Personal experience below:

So I found very few resources on this topic, but I will try to answer or at least give hints based on those and my experience (not for France though).
So first, about what you quoted, the vignette OFII is probably added on your passport when you enter France with a long-stay visa or maybe you have it when you receive your visa.
My first suggestion would be ...

You need to first identify the country in which you want to reside, and then learn its immigration laws. The IATA site referenced by Andra is not a good source of information, it may have enough for tourists and business travelers, but that's not what you're going to be. I've just checked it for a couple of combinations that I can relate to and it didn't ...
