Hi,
From the answers I've had I infer that there is no standard way of doing
that.

AFAIK this is the standard if using Volte.
If you say there is no 'alternate' then you simply make a text markup
saying 'repeat 4 times' - this is typically right aligned below or above
the stave where the repeat mark is.
There is no need for any volta brackets at all - although the example
above is what I often see, even with no alternate endings.
I have even seen 4 repeat bars one after another
\bar ":\" \bar ":\" \bar ":\" \bar ":\" kind of thing, although that
isn't that clear to me either.
Having a 'x4' as a rehearsal mark is not particularly informative and I
know it would cause much head scratching in the orchestra I play in.
It seems to me that you are over-complicating this.
