No, not as currently implemented - in fact, FlexEM explicitly removes chain labels, so you'll end up with 4 chains each with no ID. So just specify the residue number with no chain ID. This is only a problem if you have residues in different chains that have the same number. As a workaround until FlexEM properly supports multiple chains, you could renumber your antibody so residue numbers aren't duplicated (e.g. first chain is 1-100, second is 101-200, and so on).
