Also, I'm not sure what happens if you press one and then 4.

If you *always* start 2 after 1 and 3 after 2, etc., then you'd just
need two keys to have an N-way timer.  Hit, say, enter, to start
a new timer and stop the last one, and, say control-C to stop the
last timer and print all of the timings.
