Due to time reasons I can only fit in 4 erging sessions per week. If I were to condense the pete plan into 4 days what would be the best workouts to leave out? I can workout tuesday, thrusday, saturday, and sunday.

Do 1 short interval
1 long interval
1 steady long row
1 hardish 30 min.

I was also wondering this as can only train 4 times a week..quick question.. would you advise doing the workouts in order written?

No

Do 1 short interval
restday
1 steady long row
1 long interval
restday
1 hardish 30 min
restday

something like this is how I would do it.

I assume that you are referring to the plan suggested by hjs (which looks very good to me). Rather than the order written, I think that it would be better to alternate the intervals and long pieces, i.e. not in the order in which they were written in that message.

I would also do the easiest one on Sunday, since that is the one day when you don't have a break the day before. Picking the easiest of the four would be something that you would have to decide. My guess would be the short interval, but I think that it would be necessary to do a couple of weeks of the program to be sure.

You could try posting to the UK forum as Pete doesn't read this one much.

My only real comment to add to what Henry said would be to not do any "easy" rows. I think the four sessions Henry suggested are the best 4 to do, but even make the long steady row good quality (ie pretty fast, but perhaps at a lower rate than the hard 30min).
