I would prefer awk here.
Of course it is doable in sed.
The N command appends the next input line (separated by a \n character) to the input buffer.
Do that 3 times, then do a big substitution:
The first \( \) captures line1 and is the \1 in the substitution string
The second \( \) captures line2 and is the \2 in the substitution string
The next two \( \) capture line3 and line4 including their preceding \n character (that prints as a newline), they are \3 and \4 in the substitution string.

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
SEE ALSO shtool(1), sed(1).
