I would also split off one PAX on another PNR, so that he/she can be added to the companion list at the airport. To do this at the airport, the check-in agent will also need to do this, but you'll lose valuable time.
So let me get this right:

1. I am Plat with 3 family members. If I split myself off, how many checked free bags are we entitled to? And I have to mention GG codes? What is GG IST BAG vs GG 2ND BAG?

2. Why does it help the companion u/g to split into another (3rd PNR)? That I don't understand.

Thanks.
