This is especially useful when you consider that the character could use a polearm and four medium shield simultaneously.
One question that I would have though would be how much DB would four medium shields provide when wielded by four extra-flexible extra arms? Would it be +8 to all defenses? How would you deal with such a turtle, especially in a fantasy world?

Actually, "No matter how many arms you have, though, you do
not get additional attacks (
or other extra maneuvers) in combat unless you buy Extra Attacks (see below)." ... "You cannot punch with more than one arm at a time unless you have Extra Attack, but you may
grapple with all of your arms at once." B53
So Extra Arm 4
without Extra Attacks (25 points/attack) would not give you any extra maneuvers which IIRC includes Block and parry. To get those with your Extra Arm 4 you would have to
also get Extra Attacks 4 for 100 points.
Extra arms also grants you a +2 per arm to break free of a grapple.
