Question Ryan Air - baggage dis-allowance?

I understand the concept of unbundling.
But could someone help me understand what Ryan's is saying:
"The checked baggage allowance is 15kg per person (no infant allowance).

NO POOLING/SHARING OF BAGGAGE ALLOWANCES IS PERMITTED, EVEN FOR FAMILIES/GROUPS TRAVELLING TOGETHER ON THE SAME RESERVATION.

Customers wishing to check baggage into the hold of the aircraft must pay a baggage Fee for each item of checked baggage, per flight. The Baggage Fee can be prepaid either at the airport, or through a Ryan air call centre, at the rate of £10/€12 per item of baggage/per one way flight.

Customers may purchase up to 5 items of baggage per person. Please Note: That the total Checked Baggage Allowance per person is 15kg irrespective of the number of items of baggage purchased per person. There is no baggage allowance for infants, although a pram/buggy will be carried free of charge.
"

1st paragraph states that if I have 14kG and my wife 16kG - she pays. I hope we are allowed to transfer that 1kG from her bag to mine - but I am not sure.
2nd paragraph - I thought they already gave me 15kG allowance into the hold. So if I have one bag of 15kG do I have to pay 12 euros for the allowed 15kG being in One bag.
3rd paragraph - appears to confirm my conclusion from the 2nd paragraph. Do they say that if I bring the allowed 15kG in 5 bags of 3kG each they will charge me 60 euros for the allowed 15kG being in 5 bags.
4rth paragraph - Does this mean the no matter what I cannot take more than 15kG even if I want to pay extra.

Thanks for help.
