Jared, I wanted to ask this question before but just provided a solution w/o talking too much :)

If it's regardless of runtime (it means potentially one job can consume more than 15 minutes to get things done) is it allowed to run jobs concurrently?

In case of positive asnwer, you need 4 jobs. Otherwise in case of more than 15mins runtime you'll face slipped jobs.
