proceed to the intended destination of the deviation with no
greater than a 24 hour delay enroute, domestically,
and a 48
hour delay enroute internationally
I would say that is exactly your scenario with respect to the amount of delay time allowed, as for your first class on the second leg I would say that the class rules apply for that "duty period". The problem becomes if you can't book a single ticket with first on the long leg and coach on the short. It may require you booking 2 tickets, if you look at bid pack pairings with layovers between deadheads they apply the class rules to each duty period, not the total travel time.
Call your FOA and ask?
