Yes, that is exactly what I'm thinking of, but with slightly extended
barriers. The SASS nose works fine when just two channels (and two speakers)
are involved. A more substantial barrier seems necessary with the
introduction of two more channels and speakers.

I agree. Your SASS mikes have a "nose" barrier that separates left
and right. How about building a "quad SASS" with four noses?
