SG? Then a rotary switch with a chicken head knob might do, won't look that out of place. =)
But with 4 knobs and a switch there's actually quite a lot of options for wiring like the shredcow says.

lets see
one hole for vol pot, one for tone pot
one 5 way rotary to for neck humbucker with say
single coil/humbucking series/humbucking parallel/out of phase/other single
another 5 way rotary for bridge humbucker with say
single coil/humbucking series/humbucking parallel/out of phase/other single
another 5 way rotary for neck/humbucker switching for say
neck only/ neck n bridge series / neck n bridge series out of phase / neck n bridge parallel / bridge only
so you get approx 5 x 5 x 5 variations = 125 combinations
think i'll try wiring my guitar like that someday .....

Ratboy - you certainly could and frankly, you SHOULD!
Because you'll never know when you will use some of those combinations.
I went thru a major tweaking phase so... I have my own ideal switching layouts. Truth be told - I really didn't know what I NEEDED. I had to do it then realise - oh, looks like I'm not touching this split switch that much... time to change.
Its an enriching journey.

Hmmm...
Here's another switching system that would be very very useful and practical.
1 x vol
1 x tone
1 x 4-way selector
1 x phase switch
The 4-way selector only comes into play when the pup selector is in middle position and this gives the choice of*:
1) Neck & Bridge
2) Neck & Bridge inner coils
3) Neck split
4) Bridge split
*not in order and I might be a little off on the details but the idea is there
