Under normal operating circumstances the 777-200ER wouldn't, however you must bear in mind it isn't carrying 300 people and 20 tonnes of freight.

Cast your mind back to April 1997, when 9M-MRA flew BFI-KUL eastbound non-stop (some 20,044km) in a little over 21 hours. This is about 5,500km further than PER-LHR, but of course it is flying west so would be fighting a headwind most of the way reducing the range but certainly not by 5,500km.
