AA program comment does not take into account two additional features of their program.
Those are MilesAAver award seats. I understand that if you are willing to pay the full AAnytime award cost for the additional seats, you can have as many as you want.
Even within the MilesAAver award range, AA Executive Platinums get additional "flexibility" sometimes--by virtue of their elite status, the dedicated EXP Desk can call up Revenue Management to special request their shaking loose more award inventory (with reportedly a pretty good chance of approval--I'm not sure about as many as four in the same group on one flight, but almost guaranteed to get two for EXP and companion on just about any flight even if regular award inventory had been taken by others).
