Alex's suggestion of adding another regulator or 4. Ditching pneumatics for a rack and pinion.

While a rack and pinion system is certainly a way to achieve linear motion given a rotational input, there are other viable solutions as well. If you want to move away from pneumatics for this application, perhaps you should also consider a
crank,
cam and follower, or whether you even need linear motion at all.
