With two weapon fighting, it says that you can use a bonus action to attack with a light weapon in your off hand, but the bonus attack isn't positively affected by your ability modifier. If I have multiattack, can I split my attacks between main and off hand weapon attacks, adding my ability modifier to each weapon, or do I just flail away at a monster 4 times with my main weapon and once as a bonus with my off hand?

multi-attack does not specify that you need to use the same weapon.

If you where wielding a shortsword and dagger, you could...

 

multi-attack (action):

1d6+dex

1d4+dex

 

TWF (bonus action):

1d6

Only requirement is that at least one of your regular attacks must be with a different weapon from what you use for the bonus attack. So in mello's example, you could not do:

 

Attack (action):

1d6+dex

1d6+dex

TWF (bonus action):

1d6

 

nor

 

Attack (action):

1d4+dex

1d4+dex

TWF (bonus action):

1d4

I think it's important to note that the term "off-hand" doesn't exist in 5e.

 

As stated, it really only matters what weapon you use for your Attack action, and what one you use for the bonus action.
