I mean...I guess we should consider this. Who knows, we might have to do this in the future. Might as well allow it now.
When given the choice between adulting and music, choose music every time.

Also just throwing in an idea....

We could do a kind of 'relay arrangement', where you're in teams of (say) 4 and you each have (insert time limit here) to do some of the arrangement.

E.g person 1 gets told what the piece of music to be arranged is but they tell no one and do not put it in the title, so they must complete as much of it so that it's obvious what the tune is, onto person 2, they continue the arrangement, same with person 3, then when it reaches person 4, they must make it upload worthy and make sure everything is correct. The hardest jobs are 1 and 4 so less experienced arrangers can also help too.

It may seem pretty convoluted and I won't be upset iff you diss it but, just throwing it out there y'see?

I like the concept, but the Idea of the other 3 members not knowing the song person #1 chooses might not work so well. Besides that, it sounds like a cool idea. It goes a step further (maybe even two) than a regular collaboration.

I love this idea.

...What if someone has no freakin' idea what the piece is? I only listen to high-quality videogame rips a very select amount of Nintendo music, so if it wasn't a common tune, I'd be lost. XD

I also don't think it's a good idea to let 4 people make a sheet within 4 deadlines; the contests aren't fanous for its contestants being on time with their sheet

Definitely the biggest issue here. If one person commits but then doesn't do their part, the whole group is screwed over. Also, this could turn into one person doing 90% of the work and the other 3 only doing 10%. Overall, it just wouldn't work. Musicians are not famous for being organized nor timely.

We could just make the deadline 4 times as long. I believe the idea could work, but this idea doesn't really have anything to judge on. We could add this to other ideas, say making the contest a Jazz It Up (4-person relay) Arrangement contest as an example. This way the pieces would be easier to judge.
