Row formulas are not supported, but the new range formulas you already
tried are even more powerful:

Your range formula @4$2..@4$5=@-1*@-2 will work if you upgrade at
least to this commitdiff
http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commitdiff;h=8237c9ae6d587a22646333e0315683675e2db538
and will deliver

| ...           |  ... |  ... |  ... |  ... |
#+TBLFM: @4$2..@4$5=@-1*@-2

For this application I would suggest
#+TBLFM: @4$<<..@4$>=@-1*@-2
