The nice people over at Bugatti seem to think that 4 turbos is a good idea as well.

From an engineering perspective, what are the advantages?

I'm not an engineer, so I don't know, but I'd assume that the turbos are rather small and spool quickly and at low RPMs.

Would it be feasible to have two small and two large?

I remember reading awhile ago, like a few years, about how a twin turbo system would not work with one small and one large turbo. Boost spike? Yeah I think that's what the consensus was. But I'm not an engineer either.
