I usually cheat: I put the figures in a table, with extra labels, and  
referencing those in the main caption:

\begin{figure}
\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{c@{\hspace*{\fill}}c}
\includegraphics{bogus1} & \includegraphics{bogus2} \\
(a) & (b)\\
\includegraphics{bogus3} & \includegraphics{bogus4} \\
(c) & (d)
\end{tabular*}
\caption[short]{long, referencing the (manual) (a), (b) etc.}
\end{figure}

Hope this helps. There are neater solutions, especially if you need  
the figures to be vertically aligned, and the columns have the same  
width, see the tex FAQ for pointers (http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/ 
texfaq2html?introduction=yes)
