One web request can only produce one response.  That's not a ReportLab
or a PDF restriction, that's a fundamental HTTP concept.

As I see it, you have two choices.  One, you could produce the four
reports sequentially, combined into one single PDF file.  Two, you can
build a second web page that basically says "here are your 4 reports,
click on them one at a time to download them."
