I guess no, as "man cp" says that the final argument is the destination, i.e. if you do "cp test1 test2 test3" this will copy test1 and test2 to test3. You need to do this is sequence or in a script, logic like :

for ((i=1;i<=4;i++)); do cp -rp $source-folder destination$i; done

if the folders' names are persistant.
