The Scribus wiki has a page on different tools that can be used for
impositioning.

For Cut and Stack it is really mostly the shuffling of pages that is the
hard part, the rest is more or less just N-up printing.

I think that likely the most powerful tool in this case is jpdfTweak, but
figuring out the config string for the shuffling may not be an easy task.
But make a testing PDF of a suitable number of pages with just huge page
numbers on them and use some trial and error to make it work.

Do you mean 4 pages per sheet or 4 pages per side? Because I think if you
mean 4 pages per sheet (i.e. 2 pages per side), it will just be a booklet
impositioning?
