You might want to check the Zero Fuel Weight for the 340. Depending on the size of your family, you might be surprised that you can't carry them no matter how much fuel you offload.
A number of co-workers own a 340 with Ram conversion and we're shocked that they couldn't fill the seats, even with younger girls and women. You might be all right with using only 5 seats, but definitely check.
I fly a Baron 58 which does not have a ZFW, but I'm not sure about the 58P.
