No you can not. Per FAR 117 you need:
30 Consecutive hours free from all duty within the 168 consecutive
hour period prior to beginning an FDP or starting short call.
168 is basically a 7 day week. The 30 hour period can be at the front end of a trip but I don't see how this is possible with a 4 day trip followed by a 3 day trip. That situation would be possible only with two 3 day trips.
Unless there is something unusual going on with deadheads or possible a warp in the space time continuum, you need a 30 hour break in there somewhere.
See the bulletin the company e-mailed out today.
I would definitely take a good long look at it before flying it as you have described.
