Otherwise when you screw or nail the floor down you will only have 20-25mm at the ends of the boards and you should have 10mm clearance for T & G boards to a wall to start with.
Whichever way you do it any extra support under the bath is better than nothing.

Refer to Stewie's response. Additional support for the bath is a good idea as green timber slowly shrinks and deflects under heavy load over time. If your sub-floor is less than say 1.5m above ground level, the timbers should be termite resistant (H3 or H4) or rot resistant hardwood. You may also need to consider termite barriers on the piers. If you do not want a step up into the bathroom, the subfloor in the bathroom will need to be lowered to allow for a screed & tiles. Check the installation manual for the scyon flooring to see if it requires additional support under joins in the sheets. I have a toilet that blocks up on the top (2nd) floor of a property.
