I had the impression that you could do two side by side or four horizontally *and* vertically. IOW, screen 1 left of screen 0, screen 2 above (or below) screen 0. I also noticed that you don't have Option "Xinerama" "True" in your ServerLayout section. Is that deliberate? I know ati cards will do xinerama-like display natively, but I wonder if using the xorg.conf Option would be more effective.
