Hmmm.. I wonder if that's the same flywheel as the 5 and 6 bladers.. If it is, It probably would be easier to convert this into 6 blades.. Less holes to deal with and 4 of the holes can be used for 2 of the blades..

This fan uses full-size blade irons (2 1/8" hole spacing), so that's not happening.
