U-Boot cannot cope with more than two redundant copies.

Read the text carefully: "Up to two entries are valid"....

On the other hand why exactly do you need four redundant environments?
The idea behind redundant environments is that a powercut _while_
updating one copy can be handled by having a backup copy.  It is _not_
meant to handle faulting devices in any way.
