They're single cards with 4 GPUs. You can configure them 2 up/2 down, 4 side-by-side, 4 on top of each other, or just 4 copies of the same thing. They're mostly used for the sorts of business knight referred to above, but also for things like autocad and the like. Matrox has had 4 monitor cards for a very long time.

They had something called the "MVP" line of cards, one was a 2-monitor card and another was a 4-monitor card. You could also put multiple cards in the same PC, so you could have up to 4 MVP-4's, for a total of 16-monitors hooked to one PC. These cards were pretty pricy, something on the neighborhood of $4000 for the MVP-4, and about $2500 for the MVP-2. The typical buyers of these cards were airlines, for displaying flight information on multiple screens, and stock brokers, for displaying information about a bunch of stocks at the same time.
