4 inlets to 1 outlet and potential internal faces

Alright, I am a complete OpenFOAM newbie, been working on it for less than a month and I've been thrown in the deep end already. I know how to do the basics: working with the blockMeshDict file to create my geometry, using blockMesh to create my mesh, and using icoFoam to run it all. However, I'm being pushed for results and have hit a snag that I can't seem to beat.
What I'm trying to do is create a duct that is split both vertically and horizontally. Currently modeling it as 4 inlets and 4 ducts running next to each other for the first stage. The problem comes in the end section where I am trying to mix the flow into a single outlet. I am receiving an error with the solver icoFoam, that looks something like this: "--> FOAM FATAL ERROR: This mesh contains patches of type empty but is not 1D or 2D by virtue of the fact that the number of faces of this empty patch is not divisible by the number of cells. From function emptyFvPatchField<Type>::updateCoeffs() in file fields/fvPatchFields/constraint/empty/emptyFvPatchField.C at line 150." I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to go about creating this. I've tried with 0-thickness walls, but that just opens up a whole new set of problems. Any kind of help would be appreciated. Code is kinda giant: Code:
