After eliminating opponent w/<5 spoils can a set be played?

I can't find this rule anywhere.
Scenario: you eliminate an opponent and end up with four spoils that includes a set.
Question: During that same turn, can you play that set? or must you have at least five cards?

You must have at least 5 cards unless you somebody out and ended up with more than 5 cards. If this occurs, you may cash twice or even three times if possible.

Or four times, right? If you are playing a freestyle game where someone say Player 1 had 4 cards at the of their turn and took out Player 2 with 5 cards, and then you (Player 3), saying you had 4 cards at the start of your turn, took out Player 1. That would be like 13 spoils, which would be the max maybe? So that could be like 4 cashes? Or maybe I did the math wrong. I don't play much freestyle.

Technically you could nuke kill three opponents with 5 cards each. If you cashed and had two this gives you 17 cards. You would be required to play five times.

Highly unlikely but mathematically possible.

If this happened in a Battle Royale, you could theoretically have a pretty large number of cashes :-)
