According to {url=http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/cyclone-iv/cyiv-51008.pdf]this document[/url], page 8-4, the uncompressed data stream to configure an EP4CE6 is 2,944,088 bits, so it will fit in an EPCS4. Please note that the file size can be smaller if you use compression, but on the other hand if you plan to add a software image to the EPCS you will need extra space for that too, so it depends on your usage.
