2 velux windows or 4 in conservatory roof?

Hi all I am in a bit of a dilemma. I am changing my glass conservatory roof to a light weight tiled one which is going to be installed in a months time. I have gone with 2 velux windows to be installed but was wondering would I be better with 4 velux windows or just the two? I am thinking about natural light and would it benefit with having an extra 2?

Conservatory is East facing so gets the sun in the morning and early afternoons until it goes to the front of the house.

Conservatory is 4m by 3m and it's a victorian roof.

    As it will be in shade much of the day it may benefit from having 4 rather than 2.

    Looking at the design of my roof I am not sure 4 would even fit?

    When I changed from glass to lightweight solid roof the entire roof structure was removed.  I'm sure the supplier would be able to make modifications to fit your requirements.  The problem may be that if it's being installed in a month, the manufacturing process may already have been started.
