1-2-2-2, perhaps?

First activation at measure 33.
Second activation at measure 52.
Third activation at measure 69 (right before GGGRRRYYYBBB part) unless you can't hit it, then wait until measure 81 for rebuilt 4x multiplier.
Fourth activation at measure 101.

I believe this is the perfect possibility. Let me know if something better shows up.

3rd activation is late... gotta do it 1/2 measure earlier on the RY chord

I see now, I'll fix that right now

I think you can squeeze out quite a few more notes than your SP chart indicates... In the first two and the last one I mean.
