It will work fine.

The DOT 4 remains distinct, it will not mix with the DOT 5, but doesn't hurt
anything otherwise.  It does tend to turn black and gooey over time, so you
may see it if you do ever pull a slave apart.  But, I've converted several
cars to DOT 5 this way and never had a problem with the remaining DOT 3/4.
