Probably you must change in comedi/include/linux/comedi.h this:

/*
   maximum number of minor devices.  This can be increased, although
   kernel structures are currently statically allocated, thus you
   don't want this to be much more than you actually use.
 */
#define COMEDI_NDEVICES 4

and recompile whole comedi.
