I've created a custom 4"xc4" label with four on a page. When I mail merge
from an Excel list, each entry is duplicated on consecutive pages until I
have 4 of each. If I use 3"x4" labels with six on a page, it duplicates the
entries until I have each one 6 times. They aren't duplicated on the same
page, but on consecutive pages in the next label position on the page.

You are not actually executing the merge. Rather all that you are doing is
viewing/printing a preview of the result as you iterate through the data
source one record at a time

You must execute the merge to a printer or a new document and then you will
get the data from four records on each page.
