Consider going over Hardangervidda (RV7), instead of Lærdal and Fagernes. From Bergen, drive E16 until you can take 49 to Nordheimsund, go south to Tørvikbygd and ferry over to Jondal, continue to Odda, then 13 back up to Hardangerbrua (east of the fjord). Then over Hardangervidda to Geilo.

This trip could also be done with pubic transport (long distance buses and trains). For example, train from Oslo to Kristiansand, Bus from Kristiansand to Bergen (double decker), train to Flåm with a connection at Myrdal, and eventually, taking the Bergensbanen back to Oslo, changing from the Flåmsbanen at Myrdal. The Bergensbanen is a truly scenic journey.

How long time are you planning to use?

Not clear what you want, but some hints:
Stavanger to Oslo on the main road is quite boring. Either drive over the mountain (Sirdal Suleskard etc…) or at least the coast road from Stavanger to Flekkefjord if taking the south road.
Also from Bergen to Stavanger drive through Hardanger (Odda) and via Røldal. Real scenic road. Again, the main road is quite boring.

That’s a lot of boring highway.
The highway from Oslo to Kristiansand i pretty meh. From Kristiansand to Stavanger the coastal route is supposed to be nice. From Lærdal go to Øvre Årdal, take Tindeveien to Turtagrø and drive rv55 to Lom, go east on rv15 and then south on rv51 over Valdresflye before heading back to Oslo.

the south road you are planning near the coast is pointless. Go explore the middle.
