All 4 reheats were selected 'on' before take off. They wouldn't actually light until the engine was up to a certain power, so the answer is 'no'. The power-limiting ensures no. 4's re-heat doesn't light below 60kts.

Watch a video of Concorde taking off which gives the view from behind. You'll notice no.4 light up marginally after the other 3 (but there's not much in it as it didn't take the aeroplane long to get to 60kts!).
