The documentation makes no mention of supporting multiple checkboxes on one line. I suspect it is not possible. However, if you want to have multiple checkboxes for one item, you can create a nested list. Like this:

- [ ] item 1
    - [ ] item 1-1
    - [ ] item 1-2
    - [ ] item 1-3
    - [ ] item 1-4
- [ ] item 2
    - [ ] item 2-1
    - [ ] item 2-2
    - [ ] item 2-3
    - [ ] item 2-4
