The price being shown to you - ending in "9" - is consistent with POUG pricing, but I thought I should check in case this is actually a fare rules upgrade that happens to be at a price that looks like it could be a POUG. If it is, then the booking can be split and only one person upgraded at the fare rules price.

If you really do not want to split the booking, then asking about an AUP at the airport would seem to be the only other option.

How many more TPs do you actually need for renewing your status?

The Wiki shows £279 being a price for this route in October this year so sounds about right as a POUG. My largest worry would be as you said, the POUG not reappearing if one splits the booking.
