If you are doing a topsy turvy the 4" needs to be carved down to maximum a 2". When I do topsy turvys I usually carve down by 4" eg) 12-> 8, 10-> 6, 8-4, 6-> 2.

I think it could work, but the jumbo will look the same size as the tier below it.

Why don't you try drawing it out to scale and see what you think?
