On a system with 4 gigs of Ram why wouldn't you want to just disable the
Paging Executive?  A 4-8 gig page file is quite excessive.

 

Second, what would spanning accomplish?  Most likely, those partitions
reside on the same physical drive/raid set.  It's very rare to see multiple
independent spindles in a Terminal Server.

Agreed.  I actually forgot to mention spanning of such a pagefile across
partitions, preferably acros spindles.

The only thing I have come across with NT4 TSE with regard to lots of memory
is that single page files in excess of 4Gb can cause the server to crash

The biggest problem that I know of was the size of page file.  It varied
over time and among engineers, but page file for a TSE server was generally
1.5 to 2.5 times the size of physical RAM.  As long as you can place a page

file(s) on your system, you shouldn't have too much issue.  I have placed
4GB systems in the field without issue.
