Matt,
Absolutely!
Look at page 101 of The DCS Companion 3rd Edition:
Using More Than 3 Z4000s With Z4K Tracks
Although it is not permitted to have more than 6 Z4K Tracks per layout, it is possible to do so using more than 3 Z4000s through a loophole in the way that DCS assigns the Z4000 Remote Commander Receiver to a Z4K Track.
Normally, one Z4K Track is assigned to a single handle of a Z4000 to which a Z4K Remote Commander Receiver is attached. In this manner, up to 3 Z4000s may be so equipped on a single layout (DCS or conventional). This would result in a maximum of 6 Z4K Tracks per layout.
When creating the first Z4k Track for a Z4000, the last step in the process is to turn on the Z4000 and then, when "PG PG" appears in the Z4000 display, press E-Stop on the DCS Remote. This assigns the Z4K receiver a number of 1, 2 or 3.
If, however, multiple Z4000s with connected receivers are turned on at the same time (and this can be any number of Z4000s), when E-Stop is pressed all the attached receivers will be assigned the same ID number. Then, the single Z4K Track thus created will control the left handle on all the Z4000s simultaneously.
It then follows that a second Z4K Track can be created that controls the right handle on all the Z4000's simultaneously.

Thank you.
