Using #4 would allow you to move the pen 40cm for every 10cm of counterweight travel.

Ah yes, different sized pulleys would work the same as the gear train I had in mind. Thanks for the explanation!

Likely number 2 would be enough, would double the distance itself. You just need to attach it to the same corner bracket and have a pulley with the weight under it.

Yes. I would need to increase the weight on the pen too, though.

Smaller counterweight may work as well. Can take or add to either side of the equation.
