If you are happy to write an asoundrc file, you should be able to route different channels to different device plugins
You can make the slave device dsnoop. Then your two arecord calls can record at the same time

    slave {
        pcm "hw:0,0" 
        channels 2 
    }
}

You can use the ALSA route plugin with the ttable commands to switch channel positions.

In that way, you can route the other two channels for the second device.

Here is a good example :
