I am following the mountaineering plan as well and agree the core and general strength circuit feels long towards the end of the transition phase (I can’t wait to start max strength).
By spreading out the strength work over four days you would still be accomplishing the same amount of work/training input per week but from a time efficiency standpoint I think you are better off just doing the long sessions twice per week when you factor in getting to the gym, changing, warming up and setting up/putting away equipment.
Also one exercise per session for sessions (assuming you intend to split the work this way) would require more sets of the same exercise and might make you extra sore and/or lead to sub optimal training effect because you won’t be able to go as hard on the latter sets.
