Each zonal railways have their own Circular Journey Tickets (CJT). You can perfectly have your own itinerary. Your plan of travel HW-NDLS-BZA-HWH-BSB-HW is definitely a CJT. Please quote four other stations to make it a eight station list excluding HW, which is your journey starting and ending station.

per Station combinations selected by you, it works out to be 4700 kms. You'll get maximum 35 days from JCO to complete your journey with maximum eight break jorneys en route. The fare calculated is two single journey tickets of 2350 kms each in SL, CC, 3AC, 2AC or 1AC. Please also note that you are not allowed to travel in Shatabdi / Rajdhani trains, which have separate fare structure.
Please put your request in duplicate to the Stn Supdt or CBS of DDN/HW. They'll calculate the fares and return one copy of the letter duly authorising you to purchase the CJT ticket. Go the booking clerk (not PRS), make payment and get the ticket. Now go to the PRS counter and get reservations for the desired legs of journey.

I regret that the itinerary proposed by you you does not qualify for a perfect CJT. As the kms covered must exceed 15% more from the direct route. But these are often overlooked by the CBS. The total kms work out to be 4375 Kms. The total journey period is 33 days from JCO. Do not forget to add four stations to qualify for a CJT.
2 > You'll get one single journey ticket for entire route, but fare is equal to two single journey tickets of half of the calculated kms.
3 > You can stay at any place for any number of days, but you are required to complete the journey in number of days stipulated in your ticket, which is 33 days in your case.
Hope it is clear now.
