Transients XrB exhibit different spectral shapes during their evolution. Inluminosity-color diagrams, their X-ray behavior forms unexplained q-shapedcycles. We proposed a framework where the innermost regions of the accretiondisk evolve as a response to variations imposed in the outer regions. Thesevariations lead not only to modifications of the inner disk accretion rate$\dot m_{in}$ but also to the evolution of the transition radius $r_J$ betweentwo regions. The outermost region is a standard accretion disk (SAD), whereasthe innermost region is a jet-emitting disk (JED) where all the disk angularmomentum is carried away vertically by two self-confined jets. In the previouspapers of this series, it has been shown that such a configuration reproducesthe typical spectral properties of the five canonical XrB states. The aim ofthis paper is now to replicate all X-ray spectra and radio emission observedduring GX 339-4 2010-2011 outburst. We use the 2T plasma code presented inpapers II and III, and design an automatic fitting procedure that gives theparameters $(\dot m_{in},r_J)$ that best fit each X-ray spectrum. We useRXTE/PCA X-ray data spread over 438 days, together with radio observations at 9GHz (ATCA). We obtain the time distributions of $\dot m_{in}$ and $r_J$ thatuniquely reproduce the X-ray luminosity and the spectral shape of the wholecycle. Using the classical self-absorbed jet synchrotron emission model, theJED-SAD configuration reproduces also very satisfactorily the radio properties,in particular the switch-off and -on events and the radio-X-ray correlation.Within the JED-SAD framework, radio emission can be used to constrain theunderlying disk configuration. If this result is confirmed using otheroutbursts from GX 339-4 or other X-ray binaries, then radio could be indeedused as another means to indirectly probe disk physics.
