I'm not sure about peculiarities of the Lab you're talking about, BUT
1. During negotiation, PPP advertises MPPP capability, and if both sides
agree, Multilink is established, otherwise normal PPP is used. So here only
two links could establish MPPP and not the other two... But i'm not entirely
sure about functionality of this.
2. You could simply use "ip unnumbered loopbackX" on virtual-template.
Therefore the other side will always communicate to only one address.
Remember the addressing rules of PPP! You can even have an address from
different subnet on the other side, and it would work
