After almost a week of break even poker, I'm thinking this has some merit. Theoretically, it shouldn't matter to your bankroll whether you play 4-hours at 1 table or 1-hour at 4-tables. However, if you have ever done either of the following things then you should have a larger bankroll than you would otherwise:

1) Donked off 50-75BB twice on 2 tables within 5-10 minutes of each other, and after the 2nd one you sit back, shake your head and try to figure out who slipped you the "stupid" pill.

2) Gone on tilt and payed off 2 jackholes within 5-10 minutes of each other because you were tired of being bluffed (or you thought if I can catch that second pot I'll cover my losses)

Mostly I'm just venting about my own stupidity this week, but we're all human. Sometimes we play better, and sometimes we play worse. This won't change your expected winnings but it will increase variance if you are multi-tabling, which in turn will increase bankroll requirements.
