One MIDI In port would do if one does daisy-chain the four MIDI
pedals, keeping them set to different MIDI channels or to not use the
same events.

Wow, I didn't foresee that scenario. Rainer is right and I doubt
anyone have tried to do this in Mobius. Hm... well, I remember now
that I once wanted to record four loops at once into four tracks but
could not make it work. So I ended up using a script that records
those four loops one after the other and that requires me to play the
first part four times. But it would work with just playing it twice if
making a script that records the first track's loop and then puts that
track into playback mode (or overdub) while recording the same loop
length in sync on track 2, 3 and 4. The entire sync structure in
Mobius requires one track to record a loop first because that track
will define the tempo and become the "Master Track" that all other
track's loops are following.
