I'm sure I really don't know. Why don't you tell us why you chose the 'four year' period?

Because there was no Pope during that period. This seems to me to be more significant than the period when there were three Popes. At least you could claim one of them was the real Pope.

Do you think this gap is insignificant?

"Do you think this gap is insignificant?"

I don't know. I thought you had a specific reason for picking it. Judging from the time frame, i.e. early 4th century, I would suspect a persecution might have something to do with it. Unless I miss my guess, the Diocletian persecution is roughly in that time frame. Hard to meet to elect a pope when your trying to avoid being fed to the lions. -)
