We have the terms monologue and dialogue, but I'm not aware of words for 3 speakers or more specified by number. (They may exist, but presumably aren't in common usage.)
So I'm a little surprised to learn that four-way conversations are a thing, actually. Or an important thing, I guess. Not that they exist per se, but that they are an important demarcation.
Four way conversations are only relevant as a concept in this case because of the effects on what would be considered a discussion at that number (or more) of participants.
