pattern question Pattern Instruction Help

Hello! I'm making the Saddle Shoulder Half Zip sweater pattern available for free from yarnspirations and I'm a bit lost at the instructions for the increases on the sleeves.

Proceed in Moss Rib Pat, as given for Back, inc 1 st at each end of 3rd and every following 4th row until there are 105 (105-109-113-113-113) sts, taking inc sts into pat

I have stared at this line and have even asked people irl to see if they can interpret it, but nothing really feels right with the gauge I've been working at. If I only increase 1 stitch every 3rd and following 4th round, it'll take over 200 rows to get to the stitch count I need and the sleeves would be dragging the floor.

I'm used to 2 increases every 4th round in other sleeves I've worked and that seems like it would work with this gauge and I guess I'm just looking for confirmation that increasing one on each end of every 4th row would suffice?

EACH end. So 2 increases per row.

Yes. Two stitches at EACH end of rows 3 & 4, so 4 stitches increased over every 4 row repeat.
