One scheduled transaction can actually contain multiple transactions in its template. So Tom could still have four scheduled transactions as you suggest, each one having a transaction for Federal tax and a transaction for state tax. That's assuming that Tom's state's due dates are the same as the Federal due dates. I'm not sure that all states follow the Feds' April-June-Sept-Jan schedule schedule instead of the logical April-July-Oct-Jan.
