Actually most valve amps are, contrary to the popular myth that it's safe to mismatch high but not low - that's true for solid-state, not valve.
Even if you did need to keep it matched, the jacks are in parallel not series, so you would need two *16* ohm speakers, not 4-ohm.

You'll get slightly increased valve wear, actually slightly *less* power, but probably still more volume (about 1dB less due to the mismatch power loss, but 1-2dB more due to doubling the number of speakers), and more spread.
Even the increased valve wear will only happen if it's fully cranked - impedance matching really isn't critical at all otherwise.
