I gather from your other emails you are using 1.4.3, yes? I believe that
has npersocket as an option. If so, you could do:

mpirun -npersocket 2 -bind-to-socket ...

That would put two processes in each socket, bind them to that socket, and
rank them in series. So ranks 0-1 would be bound to the first socket, ranks
2-3 to the second.
