If you decide to take your bag out at NRT, that's fine too. You may show CX your international flight coming in from LAX, and CX will accord you the international baggage allowance based on the piece system whether you are on one ticket or two. CX is good about that. BTW, as BA Gold, you get an extra piece of 32kg.
What about your return?
Thank you both for your info. Our return will be the reverse of the itineraries that I posted earlier.
Since I am a OneWorld Emerald, I will check in 2 pieces of luggage while my partner will take one. We will keep each of them around 50lbs. One piece of luggage will be dropped off (family requested items). So we will only have two pieces of luggage coming back with us to SFO.
Thanks again and happy holidays!
