I Indeed mean using VLAN separation. Although this is considered not a good practice for this scenario, mainly because of VLAN hopping and other L2 attacks, considering that there are L3 devices connected to this switch from all directions it does not look as a too big of a risk.
Of course the 4 switches option is preferred if the budget allows it.
