Bro,
You can choose a 2ft or 4ft ohf for your tank.
However, 2ft will give you a very very minimum filtration.
Depend on what fish is in the tank.
I will recommend a 4ft ohf unless you have constraint.
Just my own opinion.

Bro, if you use 2x2ft ohf than you need to use 2 pump? Why don't go for a 4 ft ohf and use only one pump in your tank.

You can still put the 2ft OHF across the width of the tank.
But the thing to consider and take note is, can the 2ft OHF handle your 4ft tank bioload.

usually hobbyists will try to go for the largest ohf that their tank can take.
if ur bioload is small, yes u can use 2ft ohf for 422 tanks.
