Except for take-off and landing when all four are in the cockpit, they rotate two up front, and two on rest.

I was on one such flight PEK-IAD a few months ago. It was a last-minute substitution, and the purser told me they had to downgrade someone who had been previously been upgraded to give them the 2nd crew rest seat.
