You'd have to look at the tenancy agreement and see if it precludes sub-letting, if it doesn't I can't see this being a problem, basically the four people on the tenancy would be liable to pay the landlord the rent and then would have to extract from the people they were sub-letting to their portion of the rent, if the lease explicity precludes sub-letting you're on dicier ground, but how would they prove you were sub-letting and the other two people weren't just staying with you while they made an (extended) visit to London.
Nonetheless I wouldn't go this way, I'd pursue establishing whether or not this is realy an HMO and if not have all six people's names on the tenancy, crudely speaking it's a six bedroom house isn't it, what does the landlord think, that they'll let it to four people who will just leave two rooms empty or use them as a study/office/meditation space, er, thats just silly. Like I said what I'd do is contact Shelter for up to date reliable advice.
