1. Is it possible to use a two handed wepon and two one handed weapons at once.

2. How does having 4 arms change the monks unarmed strike and how does the Flurry of Blows class feature work with 4 arms.

Assuming a race that can wield weapons in all four hands, like the thri-kreen:

1. Technically, yes, but you'll take massive multiweapon fighting penalties on your attack rolls if all your secondary weapons are not light. If you do take the multiweapon fighting feat, you'd better have a two-handed weapon and two light weapons. Or one two-handed, one light, and a shield.

2. If your arms all come with a natural weapon, such as a claw, you can, as a fullr-round action, make your whole flurry of blow, and then, assuming your hands are free, make all your claw attacks (with a penalty of -5 for secondary attacks, or -2 if you have multiattack, plus the penalty for a low-level flurry). It won't change anything about your unarmed attack itself, though.

There is also the Oversized Two-Weapon Fighting (?) feat. It allows one handed weapons to be treated as light when twf.
