Is this one of those deals where if the closets weren't there the area would be covered and only have sprinklers inside because they're separated from the area the other sprinklers cover? So you have four heads in the design area that wouldn't normally be there except for the closet, and those four heads kill the calcs? This is one that always kills me and so I'd like to see the collective wisdom. Seems to me that if the fire is in the closet the head inside will play havoc with it and if it breaches to the outside (door open), even with another head in the main area opening there isn't a big chance of being overwhelmed. Or if the fire starts outside and moves into the closet the same but in reverse. But I'm just guessing.
