Checking Bags During Stopover
If I'm flying to europe from the midwest on an award ticket, with a legit 4-day stop-over in EWR, can I check bags in EWR, even if I had no bags getting into EWR?

You could check bags in EWR even if the stopover was 4 hours, not 4 days.
Actually were you a non-elite (or if you are; mobile site doesn't display profile info
) you would be subject to bag fees on the Midwest->EWR segment because it is not continuing immediately international and therefore is treated as a domestic segment.
But you can add more bags at intermediate stops if you want, as long as you are within the rules for number of bags or pay the overage.
