After all, the Harrier is able to hover with only two nozzles. I think you will find that the Harrier has four main swivelling nozzles, the front pair are cold air from the compressors, the rear pair are hot exhaust from the turbine. In addition it has air driven control jets at nose, tail and both wing tips. All of then are required for hovering flight. I've not noticed any other Harrier nozzles than one on each side. Thanks for the information. I suppose in theory it would be possible to hover with only one nozzle.
