1) It would cost me another 3600 euros for the other three screens
2) Would it be even possible to build the option into Oolite to show all four screens? In principle, it should, shouldn't it?

Nah. If my 1.6GHz Atom with a crappy onboard can keep up with one screen, I should think a quad-core Athlon with pretty much any 2009 GPU (one of) could handle four screens. I mean that has to be 8 times the CPU and probably about 20 times the GPU performance...
