I shudder at how even more awkward hugs would be. There is four permutations (with regards to arm-positioning) for hugs between two two-armed individuals. It's way to early to calculate how many two sets of four arms will give. I'm quite sure I would still get it wrong 95% of the times (With a 5% confidence interval).

The two-arms go between the arms. You go wide top and bottom to funnel their inferior number of arms to where you want them. You have the superior arm number. Why would you allow the inferior two arms to dictate anything?
