It appears the use of sealant on the head bolt threads was way overdone and migrated between the gasket and block/head, preventing the gasket from sealing flat and tight. May not be the cause of the gasket burning out between the cylinders, but it should still be avoided when reassembled.
Could be the gasket itself was inferior for the task. What compression is it built to ? The scoring in #4 needs to be addressed as well. Possibly the missing piece of the fire ring wedged between the piston and cylinder wall.. Sorry to see these issues you're dealing with.

Sorry to see all of this. Like Mitch mentioned, the #4 cylinder will need to be addressed. I'll also add, the rods will need to be checked for twist. Sadly, it's a rebuild all over again.
