How many T8 fixtures?

I have had some plants (VFT, Nep, Drosera, and various seedlings) under one T8 fixture (two bulbs). They seem to be doing well, but I wonder if I should add another fixture to have a total of four bulbs? That way I can mix in a couple of 4500k bulbs to go with my 6500ks.

I have my plants about two or three inches from the lights, BTW.

They would surely benefit from the added lumens, as well as the mixed spectrum. Whether or not you do it, is entirely up to you. I'd imagine they would do just fine without the additional fixture. My opinion of course...
