I checked availability on seatcounter and found that in fact there was no availability in H for either 7 or 8 Aug. between DEL and LAX.
Although there is no reason I need to be in LAX on the 8th, I am not wild about hanging around DEL an extra two days. I saw availability in M on both the 7th and 8th. I'm not sure if it is worth €400 to me, but would it be possible to pay for a YRWSTAR1 even if I am flying fewer than 26,000 miles?
Secondly, how likely is it that additional seats will open up in H between now and the end of July?
As I noticed you are LH Senator, I would ask LH to open the seats for you. I once ran into this situation with AC and as AC SE, AC opened the seats for me. Might be more difficult with TG but it is worth trying and saving the money.
