switches x 4 is confusing. Options?

I have not installed this yet. I am looking for suggestions.

Do people get used to 4 switches in a long j-box? It seems confusing at first glance.

OTOH, it is simpler to wire than the options.

Put 2-switch j-box above and 2-switch below?

2 switches on one stud and 2 on the stud 16" away?

We have a location for 4 switches just as you come in the front door.

1. Living room interior light (3-way switch)

2. front porch light

3. garage carriage lights

4. garage/side security lights (motion sensitive)

I do not want to combine the garage carriage lights and security lights because the security sensors are funky in cold weather.
