You could demonstrate your idea by using the JVN motor spreadsheet, entering the data for your gearing, it calculates current draw and pushing force.

I read a team's post about trying a 6-motor drive train and they found that pushing performance was hurt (vs 4-motor) because the extra two motors dragged down system voltage so much. YMMV though.
We've used 4 CIMs for the past several years. When coupled with an OTS 2-spd transmission from AndyMark and high traction wheels they're very hard to beat.
