As to OP, you're not going to be able to get free upgrades for both companions anyway. So if you want that you're going to need to split.
If you split wife off, buy up to first, and she's silver by that point (though maybe she needs the return PQP as well), at least she'll be on upgrade list on return. Meanwhile you and companion can both be on upgrade list as plat in both directions. You'll have to deal with relationships, but if you manage two upgrades on return and your spouse is stuck in coach, you can figure out among you who actually sits in the F seat.
Or, if you can, rebook as two one-ways so that you can split differently on the return - i.e. split wife off on way there and companion off on return.
