As someone else pointed out, 4 is the default limit for the number of
loop devices (loop makes a block device out of a file), and your domain
will use one for every file: device in every domain, which may or may
not be your problem.

If loop is a module, stop all of your domains, 'rmmod loop', then
'modprobe loop max_loop=32', then see how many you can start. If that
fixes it, then edit your modules config to always load loop with
max_loop=32
