Nope. He'll go in with the other 3 and then the clock will re-start
I'd rather not QT a single fish as I find they get too stressed

Albert is correct
From what I've read, having lower salinity for new fish is beneficial for them.
They require less energy to expel excess salt ( which SW fish do constantly ). This leaves them with more energy for healing, digesting, etc. They are less stressed so do better.
I wouldn't do it in a DT, but it's good in a QT when they are new

Seachem still tests 0ppm-ish, and the Hanna tests 0.05
With an error margin of +/- 0.04, it's hard to say for sure but I think my PO4 is under control
