Elekk,
IF you are merely switchitn lives, run the lives through the load connections.
IF you are using a "normal" light switch to control the contactors, you don't need a retain circuit, thus wire all the A2's in parallel to N.
Wire the A1's in parallel, with the light switch in series with the supply to one of them

^ just like that!
or use it........
Elekk,
This would depend on the rating of the contactor.
IF the load contacts were 4 off full load rating then you could use them for 12 lighting circuits, if not then you could only use the 4th contact to its rated current.
4 (load) pole contactors are freely available, and these may also have another aux contact.
