Air Berlin Baggage Question - extra ticket for excess baggage?

We shall be spending a few weeks in Europe and have F tickets for main long haul segments on BA. For a segment between Berlin and Zurich, we shall be buying a separate ticket. I have read good reviews about Air Berlin and their prices for the 1.5 hour trip between Berlin and Zurich is great.

Yet we will not be able to pack as light as 20kg per person given it is a long trip. Plus it will be kind of silly to limit ourselves to 20 Kg each if we have F on other segments.

I note from the Air Berlin site that they charge 8 Euros/kg for excess on that kind of route. Hence, if we are say, 30 kg over in total it will be 240 Euros between us, the price of two tickets between Berlin and Zurich.

Q: Is it possible just to buy one or two extra tickets for the excess baggage?

Thank you in advance.
