`C-x 4 C-f` would run 2 commands, just like `C-u C-f`, so just like you can't
do `C-x k C-u C-f` (because the `C-x k` stops after `C-u`).

So all the user needs to know is that `C-x 4` is a command and not s keymap.

BTW, we have th same problem with `C-x e e`: I can't do `C-x k C-x e e`
because `C-x k` stops after `C-x e`.  So for the same reason it would be
good to make it possible to do `C-x e C-x k e` to find out what `e` is
really bound to.
