It appears I would need to purchase £700 worth of miles (another 30,000 or so) to pay for it fully with miles...

Nope, no such miles and cash option on AA. Have you looked at just buying the tickets? One-ways in Europe can be very cheap, to the point that often it makes little sense to burn miles for an award ticket. Or you could get 2 with miles, and buy the 3rd.
