I have done quite a bit of Googling and found not a lot of information on this.  Are 4-way flexible bridges possible?  I can do a 3-way flexible bridges with my titans very easy.
 
If you look at it this way:
 
Card 1 has A and B
Card 2 has C and D
Card 3 has E and F
Card 4 has G and H
 
For a 3-way all you need to do is C to E and D to B and F to A.   Presto flexible 3-way bridge out of 3 2-way bridges but is it possible make a 4 way and how?

    Thank you so much.

    I will have one made.

    Don't have one made on the information I posted. I need to verify which connector goes to which. I have a 3-way which I did a quick check on.  But I don't have a 4-way to verify the connections.
     
    Unless you have to have flexible for some reason, EVGA has the 4-way for $24.

    If you have a system with four cards in it and want to use the single flexible bridge
     
    A B
    C D
    E F
    G H
     
    A to C; D to H; E to G
     

     
    or better off buy a 4 way bridge...because PCI-E are spec spaced so any 4way bridge (ASRock, Asus, EVGA) will work.

    I strongly recommend a 4 way bridge:

    Personally I prefer this type of bridge cable for 4 way SLI rather than any type of flexible solution
