The advice from the experienced travellers in the community is to use other ways to make reservations than the Interrail/Eurail website. Then you can make reservations for as many seats as you need.
You can look at the guide in the link:

If you, after having looked at the guide, have questions about how to make specific reservation, please give your travel details (departure date, time and route) preferably in a new topic, and you will get advice.
