If the "piezo" is rated for 400W, and it can actually draw between 300-500W, then at least a 500W supply is needed, and any supply (power rating) larger will be fine and should not cause significant extra power usage. Of course, the bigger supplies are more expensive.
You might be able to replace one big supply with four smaller ones, but consider if one doesn't startup for some reason - what's going to happen?
And since there are capacitors on their outputs, and you're essentially paralleling four sets of output capacitors, is that going to violate any "maximum output capacitance" requirements?
