The European FB hotline is open today. I just rang them, and their explanation for the odd 210K miles was that this was probably a combination booking: outbound skyteam redemption, return open. Although, the agent on the phone seemed a bit bothered by my call and did not actually check. She was speculating.
I did not realize that a combination was also possible.
When I asked her about ensuring that that remaining 3 tickets would also be booked on the same flights, she said that for open miles were was full availability.
Not sure what to do now ....

Ok, i've now booked flights.
After another hour playing around with the FB system, not really getting the flights i wanted, i finally called the FB hotline again.
This time a very friendly french mail attendant.
After about 15 minutes worth of searching, i finally got the following:
FRA-CDG-LAX, direct.
Outbound is in business class as all else was booked.
Return is economy. All were booked with skyteam redemption rate, so only 70K total per passenger.
thanks all for your help in this!
