I assume 4 gates can accommodate 4 x wide bodies and/or a 752 at the same time?
Looking at the charts, only stands 2-4(A) are code E rated, so there may occasionally be an issue but 757s and 767s would be fine to use 1.
There does in theory look to be space to convert 1 to a 1/1A, so it may be possible as part of an upgrade.
