Nice coop! Just one thing, ducks aren't good at climbing ramps (and they can't fly up either). It's better that house part is at ground level. Is it possible to have that house without the stilts?

This will be big enough for four Khaki Campbell ducks right?

No. Ducks need, at the bare minimum, 15 sq. ft. (though 20 sq. ft. is better) in the run per duck. That run can fit three ducks. If you increase the run to a 10 x 6, you can fit 4 ducks.

They will be free range on all days possibly (when there is no storms, tornadoes, or rain) Will they still need a bigger run?

Yep 20 hens dead... The new hens I got are about 2 years old. I just gave them away last week. They were good hens but, I had to have there coop for my silkies and marans. They went to a good home. The Duck coop I am working on wouldn't be enough room for them.

Wow.. that's sad.

Oh ok. At least they're in good hands :)
