I can imagine several ways to pronounce it, but none involve an R or a fourth syllable. I've always pronounced the first S the same as any other English S, the first two Ys as I as in it and the third Y as E as in the. But a lot of my vocabulary comes from reading, so that could be very wrong.

I hear a bunch of odd ways people pronounce our company name "Syzygy", a lot of them put an "R" in there at the middle and some have it start with a "Z", and some get more than 3 syllables out of it. It's always a lot of fun (when your really bored) to listen to people mangle the company name. :) I an imagine that XYZZY is even worse.
