Not sure what you are meaning here. If you run xrandr commands "manually" at every restart, then you shoud use a login script to do this. I have to use xrandr to adjust video output from my audio-video Linux box to a old LCD TV: I have a small login script to have xrandr setting up things at every login...

And excuse me if this is of no interest for you. But, searching in the net (for "linux 4-monitor" or "linux multi-monitor"), it seems X can handle up to 16 monitors since years, either Nvidia or AMD, either proprietary or free drivers...
