Very expensive. You need a 2x2 video wall processor that can split a 4K input into 4x 1080p outputs (most also support 1x3 layouts). The end result is almost indistinguishable from using your displays in Extended Desktop mode, but will cost you $200+

If you need 3 monitors each using a separate space then the best you can do is use two directly connected monitors plus a third AirPlay2 compatible SmartTV connected by Airplay.
