Not really. Since my main hand is righty, but my main leg is lefty...
That's called "mixed dominance" and it's fairly common.
And thus, we have a scientific example that leads us to buying Ambidexterity for each hand. ;D

A little side-ball, common humans have not only a strong and a weak hand (off-hand), no it is with all pairs of limbs alike. Meaning: We also have a off-leg, every sportsman knows. ;)
That could be a reasoning argument for our one per pair argument, or isn't it?
Not really. Since my main hand is righty, but my main leg is lefty...
And so what? One of your two legs is better, and one of your two hands is better. One of each pair...
If a six arm guy has 2 main hand righties and 1 main hand lefty plus 1 main leg lefty (i.e. right hand, left hand, right hand, left leg) then he would be a "mixed dominance" too. But in rule terms he has 3 main-hands and 3 off-hands, consequent result is 3 times Ambidexterity. ;)

Multiple dominant hands is really weird, what does the dude do all everyday stuff like writing,drinking etc. simultaniously with one hand from each pair.
To me it seems much more likely that he has one arm(the dominant one) he does all of that and the rest are only used when necessary, just like we use our main-hand and off-hand. ;)

He could sign and write either with his upper or lower right Hand
that seems quite normal for me (well normal for a being with 4 Arms ....or 6)

So pure rules think, well each his own, but i find the following line of thinking just totally hilarious and more then little retarded.
"That four armed guy, yeah he's okey, but that six armed dude there, now that's a total freak."

Well you know, with 8 limbs he's an arachnid, and they're TOTALLY scary.

With 8 limbs you get mistaken for a bug, and shot. :P

+1 here
4 Arms for a Nartaki borders to Freakdom but is OK because they are officially since 2063
but 6 or even 8 Arms might really Freak out Joe Sarariman

Tack on a tail, cephalopoidal skull, bug eyes, and some horns and you got yourself a real winner.  You'd probably want to invest heavily in long coats and Halloween masks.

You could bludgeon your enemies with your own severed arms.  Now that's metal.

Or you could replace them with military-grade cyberarms with cyberguns...

Eh.  Still not as metal as bludgeoning your enemies with your own severed limbs.

Nor as metal as this:
