What Chassis are you are using?
I always wanted to have something like the cubix expander and am curios if four Radeon VII in a cubix expander on a 5.1 deliver a performance close to the 7.1 with two MPX Modules.
On High Sierra FCPX seems to use 4 GPU's, I remember reading an article where they used 4x7950's and got render times that took approx. 1/4 of the time.
I wonder if these kind of boards would work for a 5.1:
