Hot Lava makes some interesting cards using the Intel chipset: https://www.hotlavasystems.com/products_40gbe.html You can get a 2x 40Gbps card, configure port1 as 40Gbps, and the second port as 4x 10Gbps ports with a breakout cable. According to a quick call to their support number, the 4 ports on the break out will show up as separate devices (eg ix0, ix1, ix2, ix3). My use case doesn't need a QSFP -> 4x 10Gbps breakout, but it would be need to try out. As other people noted, you would need kit with PCE 3.0 slots.
