As in the early series though you can just send in replacements as you need them. Sods law seems to dictate the more HMs they send in, the less quit - but with my plan of 13+3, if say two leave due to either quitting or being ejected and are directly replaced, that's still only 18 HMs over the season - there has been around 21-24 in recent years.

Remember though it's the final final this time, and the final of BB11 shouldn't absolutely dominate the show at the expense of looking back at the last 10 years. Hence, having just 4 gives them a bit more time to play with. I'd have the first two evictions in the first show as usual, leaving just the final two for the last show. Then, instead of an interview with 3rd place you can get the winners back on stage for a quick interview with them - and then I'd play the BB11 best bits before the winner is announced, with the show instead ending with the best bits from the last ten years instead.

Funny isn't it that since BB3 we've always had a first week eviction, but we all still look back at the first two series and believe that's the way it should be done.
It all comes down to the structure of the show - the twists in the opening week of BB3 and BB4 meant the first week eviction was necessary (and remember back then it was still only 9 weeks long), but since the show went to 13 weeks they haven't been necessary at all and rather than rushing launch night twists to a conclusion within a couple of days, it's much better to let them play out at least over the first week and then use the first Friday night show as the climax to the twist.
