It is also (very likely) more efficient in (transient) disk-space
terms to follow those suggestions.

Merging two VDI files means copying data in one into the other, and
just at the end of that process, both VDIs will exist on disk, the
resulting target VDI, and also still the source VDI.  Then the source
VDI is deleted.

Merging 4 into 1 will use 4+(1+4) = 9 disk, just before the original 4
is deleted.
Merging 1 into 4 will use 1+(4+1) = 6 disk.

Check for available free space before deleting each snapshot.
Ensure you have backups in case anything goes wrong.
