I don't know if BA has a policy of seating families together but that would most likely involve a middle row of 4 seats. Not ideal but I won't pay 350€ to reserve 4 seats on top of the ticket price...
I think even if BA changed it to an A350 it would be pretty unlikely there would be enough couple pairs at check in, but it would give you a reasonable chance of a set of 4 in the middle.
Have you seen the current seat map on expert flyer?
