I heard that some still have a custom to boil only odd numbers of eggs at a time. I heard that the reason is if there is a blood-spot in an egg, the egg will be Battel Berov. This only explains why people don't boil one or two eggs at a time. What is the issue boiling 4 or more eggs at a time?

If you find a blood spot in a hard boiled egg does that affect the other eggs boiled with it in the pot?
If there were 3 or more eggs cooked with it in the pot then there is no problem with the other eggs [because of the concept of 'batleh b'rov' (nullified in the majority)]. If there were exactly 2 eggs then it depends: If you hold the lenient view stated above then the 2nd egg is unaffected. If you hold the stringent view stated above then the 2nd egg must be discarded since there is no batleh b'rov here.
