it really depends on the zoom levels (=detail you want) and building structure. If there is a closed building block there may be a lot of those 4-node-houses which all together could be generalized to one 4 node block. If there are scattered houses in a rural setting, you still can omit the smaller ones or make one bigger structure by combining several smaller ones. Many buildings also do have more than 4 nodes.
