I'm not 100% sure on this, but believe they will offer 4 CW reward seats on a flight (I know a friend was able to get them for the F cabin, though he's a GGL member).
Getting them, however, could be very difficult. You will need to start looking the day the flights open for reward space. IIRC this is 350 days before departure. You may have to book it as two one way trips (at least as far as the reward flights are concerned) in order to get the space. Then book your seat once the other 4 are confirmed.
It may be worth a call to BA to see if they can help you further with this by holding the outbound space until the return dates open.

Good luck!
