I'm not too worried about the journey on the way out as I have over 4 hours in between flights and it is only the last one on the return journey I want/need to drop.

Also, based on their being two record locators are you confident that dropping the last flight from LHR-DUB will NOT have any affect on the tier and miles I'll earn on the VA sector?

Thanks
The key, as mentioned by another poster, is not how many airline reference codes you have, but how many tickets you have. Do you have one ticket number for the EI flights and a separate ticket number for the VS flights, or are all four flights on a single ticket number?

My guess is that all of your flights are on one ticket, as TATL airfares are often cheaper with a DUB origination than with a LON origination. But you really need to check your ticket number information to be sure.
