The only reason it would make sense on a 4 cylinder is a 2 stage setup, where you have a small one to get up to a certain speed or rpm then handoff to a large one for maximum power. Remember the old Group B rally cars with 700-900 HP out of 2000cc?
In a 6 cyl, smaller turbos on each bank would allow for better throttle response over a large enough single. Like every one else mentioned plumbing complexity and maintaining proper air-fuel ratios would be a challenge.
