The slides that you refer to do not also double as rafts. And the overwing slide ( door 3) would extend aft and interfere with the door 4 slide, instead of passing underneath it, as it would in a land evacuation.

And you will be hard pressed to find a 744 with that number of pax, most are going to max out at under 400.
