I'm using two #10 stranded copper wires, spaced roughly 6 inches using
some old insulators I bought at hamfests as spacers. It roughly doubles
the SWR bandwidth. The only downsides are more wind load and greater
visibility. I would expect four wires to be roughly twice as much of all
three. :)
Expect a small difference in the tuning (resonance).
