Well, I am not sure what all those controllers mean, but most likely you have 2 USB controllers on the machine that will be compatible, so maybe additional 2 port would be necessary, I am not sure until you try it, but has to be a compatible chip on it, I use a 2 port Renesas, runs about $25 USD and works fine.
I agree, best to have all on one machine and good to know you already have a higher end machine, it will help.
As for Moves, 2 is minimum, head one with PS Eyes is up to you, but the head tracking on with PS Eyes works pretty good, and if goes off is easy to fix later in post, or right inside iPi Studio if you want first, my performers heads have been tracking really well without the head Move, so I just don't worry with it, I can't say you will experience the same results though.
The Moves are a bit bulky, but can be strapped or taped to top of the hand also, using a small foam riser to eliminate the bone discomfort and better articulation of the wrists, but really you will get much better results using them.
I did make a much smaller Move Glove, shown in the General Index under Move Glove, it works well for me if you wanted to do something similar.
Length of cables up to 10m work fine for all, some may prefer 2-5m together to get the extra repeater in there, but I didn't see the need up to 10m.
All my cams are permanently fixed and wires are all run cleanly around the room, but with tripods that's a bit more modular, especially if needs to be broken down after use, just keep cables out of performance area, just a small snag from someone moving on one can ruin your calibration and you may never know until later, why it is best to do a calibration before and after session, not after each performance, just after each full completed session, that is unless someone really messes up and totally knocks a tripod out of wack.
Also, you will need sufficient room to deploy a PS Eye set up and get a reasonable capture volume, or you will be very limited to motions able to be captured.
