So to be clear... I have a 4-16 SFP

If it's 30 MOA top to bottom on the lower part of reticle and there are 15 subtensions, each subtension at 16x is 2 MOA. If I go to 8x, they are 4 MOA. If I go to 4x they are 8 MOA. Is this correct?

I think that is correct.

You should verify on a grid though if you're going to use hold-over at different magnifications for long range. The markings on the power ring aren't ultra precise. I would scribe the ring at the exact right spots. You can do the same thing to use the bottom post on a duplex scope for hold-over. It's crude and backwards because you have to zoom out as you get farther out, but it works.

You can do a pretty slick job of having range markers on the zoom dial and eliminate dope charts and stuff too. A SFP scope can be used in some cool ways that a FFP can't.

I honestly don't know the answer to your question, but once you figure that out, make yourself a dope card with the hold overs on various powers.
