Is there a way to wire 4 4-Ohm speakers from a 16-Ohm speaker cab into an 8-Ohm speaker cab?

not without wasting power by inserting resistors. There is no solution for a perfect impedence match. If you use resistors to bring it to 8 ohms, half your power will be dissipated by them. you're better off rigging it for 16 ohms.
the closest impedence match you can create is wiring 2 speakers in parallel, in series with each of the remaining two. that's 10 ohms. however, it's a gross imbalance in how much power is fed to each speaker - they won't pull the same weight.
