It's better portrayed in a mini series

Four films, six films, you're still going to have problems. Four films would have pacing problems. Six films and you stretch content too thin, there just isn't enough there to hold the casual audience's attention and warrant the money for a movie ticket.
The story has an odd pacing that works well for a book, but not for multiple movies. However, if you made it into a miniseries...with as many episodes as it takes to cover all the material, then it fixes that problem. If we're ever to get a fully accurate remake of LOTR, a miniseries is the only way to go.

How would you structure a four film LOTR series?

Six films would be overkill

I really do think more than four films would be pushing it.

I think you're spot on regarding the improbability

For Films 3 and 4 (ROTK Parts 1 and 2) , I'd show the 'Bigger Picture'. -

I like the idea of putting all the endings in film4.
