I don't think applying to come off record is a simple answer. Before even contemplating that, I would seek an extension by agreement. If that wasn't possible, I would apply to extend the time. If that wasn't possible, I would consider serving draft statements and then signed statements to be served once available, with an application for relief from sanctions being made.

Forging the signatures really shouldn't be an option.

Having said that, I think the SRA has made the right decision on this occasion. Yes, others have been treated far more harshly, but I would sooner have the SRA show some leniency than have them stick rigidly to their own harsh precedents.
