I'm tempted to wonder whether the extra doubles require tweaking the 38" seat pitch in a downwards direction. That'll go down well ...
Wonder no more!!... I can confirm that the seat pitch is 38” throughout the whole WTP cabin. The diagram posted was originally released 15 months ago. It was used to give investors a idea of how the cabins would look once the cabin it had been reconfigured.
The cabin layout diagram posted shows 2 good size wardrobes on either side of the cabin aft of DR2. BA decided to have them removed. This freed up space for the two extra seats to be fitted on either side.

When the 777 cabin reconfiguration was announced BA said that plannned to fit a high density cabin to some of its 3 class 777’s and LGW and they planned to fit 25 777’s with a 10 across Y cabin. BA plan to totally refurbish the remaining 3 4 class aircraft it has based at LGW however there are no plans to make turn then 3 class aircraft. The aircaft will be fitted a 10 across economy cabin which so it they will return to service in a new 14F/48J/40W/136Y configuration. The 4 class aircraft are not planned to have there
G-VIIO/R/P/T & U - are planned to be reconfigured into the 3 class HD configuration by the end of S18. The 3 remaining 4 class aircraft will then undergo there cabin refit during W18. BA do not plan to reconfigure the cabins of the RR powered 777’s operating from LGW before S19.
