Avios transfer cap 200k (how to get past it?)

I’m making a space release booking with me and a couple of others costing 150k per person. Each have the avios to transfer for me. The booking has to draw on avios only from my account or from a household account (which I don’t have).

Wondering whether anyone has any smart ideas on how to allow people to get more than 200k into my account in a calendar year which aren’t the following options:

1. Household account (don’t want to be tied in for 6 months)
2. Move their BA avios to Qatar, transfer via the Qatar route and then move the avios back into my BA account (extortionate costs!)
3. Open an Iberia account and move it around that way (I don’t have one and it requires activation 90 days prior to enable avios transfers).
4. Ask BA nicely to charge others accounts for their seat on a space release booking from my account (tried that, unsuccessful).
5. Wait till next year when the cap resets
