Years ago I did several dives in Joint Hole using four cylinders. I used a chest harness and waist band made of shock-cord. I found this system very good, it was easy to put bottles in and out and they never fell off. It also gives good weight distribution. I also found that all four cyclinders had their "individual place" - I never had any trouble mixing up guages or regulators.
A particular weakness of your idea is that you can't conveniently drop one stage cylinder, continuing on three /you could, but you would be very unbalanced). That might not be appropriate if the two pairs of tanks have different gas mixtures, but of they all contain air, it's useful to be bale to dump one of the tanks
How to make such a chest harness....
Take a length of 8-10mm shock cord. Tie a smallish loop with an overhand knot in the middle. Put this in the middle of your chest. Take the ends around your body to the small of your back and tie a second overhand knot, just in-line (no loop). Now take one end over each shoulder. (For each end now do the following, I've only described it for one) Tie a simple overhand knot, loop the end over the part running over your chest and back into the overhand knot.
(The waist loop is just a simple loop of shock cord which you wear around your waist.)
At this point you should have a sort of bizarre "bra". The loop you tied at the very beginning is the "handle". You can grab hold of it and pull the chest loop out, and hook it over the pillar valve of one or more tanks. The reason why the shoulder loops are not firmly tied but looped over the chest loop is so that the chest loop can expand to the size of the load. The bottom end of the tanks go in the waist band.
John Cordingley showed me this system. I don't know whether he invented it himself, but it worked great for me. I even caved between sumps on occasion with a third cylinder in position on my chest and it still never fell off.
I realise that a picture would be worth any amount of words trying to describe this solution!
