While you can grow a single to the size of four, it will take you much longer to fill the space, as well as cost more, because more equipment is needed for more plants. You'd be in veg for a couple months. The downside is that you need four seeds or clones, instead if one. Seeds are pretty cheap these days though.
What you should do is look at how to top, super crop, and scrogging to make the most out of the limited space of growing inside. You don't want your plants with one top branch/cola each, with mediocre buds below. You want your plants to resemble an upside down tree, which will give you the most surface area for the grow light to optimally reach. You lose significant light power with distance. So, you'll have effective light around a foot into the canopy (depending on the light). What you'll have is a whole bunch of medium-sized colas per plant, that will far outweigh a single cola, each.

And, I would personally grow three, within that space. It can get crowded, and make you work trying to keep circulation going through the plants. I grow four in my 4x4 tent.

Never run one plant, if it fails your fucked.
Run 4, they will fit in your tent and hopefully they all will be killers, but you should get at least one good plant.
Good luck

I grow two plants in my 2 foot x 2 foot 7 inch grow space. It always gets crowded and inevitably one plant matures earlier than the other and the remaining plant does very well because it has the whole space to itself.
This only works because I’m very aggressive with LST, starting a week and 1/2 after sprouting until the start of flowering. This requires daily care throughout this period, so I can’t recommend it if you can’t commit to at least 10 minutes of daily care.
If you are lazy and seeds are cheap or free, then more plants might be your speed.
Last grow I got 8 ounces dry from two autos. I’m expecting the same this grow. 3 ounces dry from first one and I’m thinking 5 ounces dry from second which is currently drying.
Also, I’m using feminized auto seeds. If you are using regular seeds, more plants will give you a better shot at getting enough females.
