Even if the card supported 2 5.25" and 2 3.5" drives on the card, ProDOS
would still need to move two of those drives to another slot so using
one controller for four drives doesn't necessarily give you room for
another card in your machine.

Why not just attach 2 5.25" drives to a Disk ][ controller in slot 6 and
2 3.5" drives to the UDC in slot 5?
